Hello there,
I tried to replace my original Atheros card with a BCM43225HMB but It seems It's not whitelisted on my 4530s, so I can't use it.

I want to switch to a BCM device for bt+wifi combo, since bt on atheros sucks with magic mouse, apple keyboard and other devices used at the same time.

Is there a list of whitelisted cards available?
Any chance I can try a workaround for OSX and for Win8.1 I have installed on dual boot with this BCM blacklisted card?

Thanks in advance
 
Only Atheros wifi+bt is applicable for your laptop.

Can anyone suggest an out-of-the-box compatible usb BT dongle to buy?
I think I am going to tape the pins on my Atheros card in order to disabled built-in bluetooth.
