Continuity and Handoff Capable Apple Mini Cards + PCIe and mini-PCIe Adapters

Good night, I have just installed a Azurewave AW-CE123H (BCM94352HMB) on my Hack, I followed the guide to enable WIFI/BT, and here's what I have working so far:

- WIFI: OK, both WIFI and Ethernet are ON and working
- BT: OK, paired with BT Apple Keyboard and BT Apple Trackpad. Both working as expected
- iMessage works as expected
- Instant Hotspot works as expected
- AirDrop works as expected
- Handoff/Continuity does not work properly. It's the real reason why I bought the card, I wanted to have this feature.
- Option for Apple Watch unlock is there, I have the watch, but I haven't tested it yet.

When Mac (Sierra 10.12.4) Safari is open on any website, iPhone (6S, 32gb black, last iOS version) Safari sees the link and loads the page perfectly. The other way round does not work; Mac shows the icon on my Dock to see the iPhone Safari link, suggesting that Handoff should work - then loads Mac Safari, tries to load the page, but returns message "Handoff could not be completed."

Any idea on what I could do to fix this? I have tried several times to log out and log in from iCloud, on both devices. Other apps such as Notes shows the same behavior.

The specs:
OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.4
CPU: Core i7 4790 Haswell @ 3.6GHz
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 OC 2GB
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI
HDD: Hitachi 1TB ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB (two 500GB partitions, one for each OS, to share documents and other data)
SSD: Kingston SSDNow 120GB (Dual Boot Clover, Windows 10 and macOS, 60GB each)
RAM: 1x8GB Kingston 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 KVR1333D3N9/8G

Thanks in advance.

Can you help me with getting the Azurewave AW-CE123H (BCM94352HMB) working with wifi?.

I've installed FakePCIID.kext+FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext to S/L/E but wifi still does not appear to be working.

Bluetooth is working, after installing BrcmPatchRAM2.kext+BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext

I've also edited

IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/ AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/Info.plist

To add:
pci14e4,43b1

to item 2 (changed from the original option).

I still can't get wifi to show or work. I think there's another step I need to do, but keep going round in circles and getting nowhere! I'd really appreciate any help/tips/advice!

EDIT: I'm running 10.12.5

Additionally I've added the patch by "dark void" to clover config.plist:


<dict>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>AirPortBrcm4360 - fcvo</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>gflSqgAAdSk=</data>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AirPortBrcm4360</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>gflSqgAAZpA=</data>
</dict>

Wifi still does not even display on my hackintosh.

Does anyone have any advice/tips?

Why you have modified
IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/ AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/Info.plist

No need, only FakePCIID.kext+FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext in S/L/E or prefer L/E

and follow this guide from Toleda

It only has 2 cables for the 2 antennas, you don't have to connect all???

That`s a good point :)

On the three-antenna cards one is 2.4ghz wifi,one is 5ghz wifi and one BT. :)

I have been struggling my head and haven't find a working one with two-three antennas (supposing that the three antennas is 2,4 - 5 - Bluetooth) working oob on Sierra. I have even learned on writing correctly Bluetooth
 
Well I do not have a Mini-ITX motherboard, but I understand your problem.

If you get a mini card with three antennas, just chose BT and, say, the 5ghz radio. The 2.4ghz will be fully working but not receive or transmit unless you add a third aerial/antenna. Cheap and easy to do. Get a fly-lead and aerial from Ebay etc. and mount on the case?
