I have used the information in the Z97N-Wifi/HD4600 thread (http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...ifi-using-hd4600-no-graphics-card-needed.html) to get my system up and running.

However, I am struggling to figure out how to make bluetooth work. Basically the bluetooth settings are missing from the System Preferences. I have tried searching the forums, but I haven't had any luck finding an answer yet.

I realize that I could get another wifi/BT card, but I'd like to see if I can get BT up and running for now.

Same here with the Z97N-WiFi!
 
I've re-installed OS X a couple of times now, without luck.

Here's the thing. I had bluetooth the first couple of times I installed Yosemite. Then I installed some drivers using MultiBeast, and suddenly my bluetooth wasn't working. I was thinking that it could be some sort of driver conflict, but I've tried so many combinations now, I've sort of given up.

I'd REALLY like bluetooth to be working though, so I'd really appreciate if it anyone with the same problem could chime in on this.

I've used/I am using the latest versions of UniBeast, MultiBeast and Chimera. It's an Intel 7260 wi-fi/BT card. I'm assuming it's the same as in the Ga-Z97N-WIFI.
 
Apparently there have been problems with these cards.

In this thread, a user solved the problem by reversing the D+/D- connection on the motherboard's onboard USB connector (but since there's not external USB connector, I can't do the same): https://communities.intel.com/thread/45971?start=15&tstart=0
 
OK, this is weird. It seems to be working again now, even though I didn't do anything. We'll see how long it works this time :)

EDIT: One problem though, my magic trackpad is lagging a bit. Any ideas why?
 
...and now it's not working :(

I'd really like to know what this is all about. I'm suspecting a hardware problem.
 
I ordered a BCM94360CD card and an adapter. I'll continue investigating the issue until it arrives.
 
1st of all, delete all windows original bluetooth driver.

2nd,download driver from maker site ,http://download.gigabyte.asia/FileList/Driver/mb_driver_bt_wb867d-i.zip

3rd,check device manager,they shows 2drivers, one is microsoft bluetooth enumerator<2006/06/21 version 6.1.7601.17514> the other is intel wireless bluetooth 4.0 adaptor<2014/04/18 version 17.0.1405.456>

i got the same trouble,and i brought pc to the shop where i bought and ask them to fix.
 
What are you talking about? I didn't install any Windows driver...
