Hi guys! I have a perfectly working hackintosh, im so happy!
:D
Anyway, the only unsupported component in my laptop (Asus X550LD) is the wifi card Atheros 9485
What is the best replacement for it, since I would love to get bluetooth and wifi on OSX because my laptop doesnt have any bluetooth.
I see there are combo cards... Would installing one of them give me bluetooth and WiFi, even if the computer didnt have any bluetooth whatsoever before?

What would be the best choice of buy in terms of compatibility, getting Airport and Airdrop, plus Bluetooth and not give me too much trouble to sleep laptop?
Thanks so much for this incredible forum!

Without any whitelist concerns, BCM94352HMB is one of the best choices.
 
Having trouble enabling my bluetooth after upgrading to Cap, my bluetooth was working great in Yosemite.
I have tried every which way to get it enabled and nothing has worked. I tried to use both the wireless_bcm94352-110-v4.0.command.zip and the clover kext patch and none of them worked. I then tried to use BrcmPatchRam2.kext and I still couldn't get Bluetooth working, not sure what else to do to get this working again.

Make sure USB is working correctly first... (verify BT device is on USB bus).

Then follow instructions carefully: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM
 
Hi, All!
First of all i want to thank you for this great job!
I have ASUS z97-Pro (Wi-Fi ac) motherboard with Intel Core i7 4790K CPU, 16 Gb DDR3 Ram etc.
Mac OS X Yosemity 10.10.5 with Clover bootloader in UEFI mode working great without any issues.

I used these guides for my build:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-buil...board-ac-wifi-bluetooth-4-0-secure-drive.html
http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-buil...ro-wi-fi-ac-core-i7-4790k-evga-gtx-760-a.html

Yesterday i installed El Capitan and cannot reach wi-fi and bluetooth working. More to say, when wi-fi controller enble in bios system stop to start with "system uptime in nanoseconds".
I read carefully this topic but i still don't understand what kext i must use and what i must to do then.
Also i read this topic too: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/

I'm sorry for this question, may be it looks very stupid, but please explain the sequence of actions, what kext is nesessary, where i can get it, what i must to do then (patch etc).

English is not a language of my origin, so please forgive me for possible grammar mistakes.

P.S. with Yosemite i used bcm4352.kext in Clover kext folder and wireless_half-mini-brcm4360-90patch.command

Thank you for response!
But it doesn't help, system stops to boot with error (system uptime in nanoseconds) when WI-Fi controller enable in m/b bios.
Bluetooth controller is enable and system boots ok, but there no BT in system at all.
