[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

And it's no way to make this adapter work?

No -- it is not supported.

Can you advice small USB adapter? Because my laptop is under warranty.

You will probably be unsatisfied with USB WiFi... I have used an EDIMAX EW-7811Un before.

Read post #1.

There are also specific recommendations in the FAQ.

I just got the BCM94352HMB/AzureWave AW-CB123H [14e4:43b1] and managed to get the Wireless w/5GHz support working today. However, I failed miserably at trying to get bluetooth working. I followed the installation instructions here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM to no avail.

Tried searching logs for issues but turned up nothing. Note that I am very new to Clover, but am getting the hang of it pretty quick. That said, I'm sure my config.plist has a lot of unnecessary things in it, and my DSDT could use some cleaning, but it's only been a week since installing 10.11 on this new machine of mine

Attached is my info. Hoping for any assistance.

Thanks!

No bluetooth device on the USB bus. Likely USB problem.

RehabMan, you are a GOD.

Managed to get USB working properly by visiting your thread there and finding out I needed to patch DSDT for USB to work (EHCx->EH0x rename) and then install your wonderful FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext (already had FakePCIID.kext installed) and now USB is working and I can see the Broadcom Bluetooth Card, along with my internal UVC webcam!

Now I just need to re-apply the patches to get the bluetooth loader to work and I should be golden.

Thanks for your assistance, and all your efforts and contributions to the hackintosh scene. Realizing that none of this (in terms of getting my machine to work properly) would have been possible without your expertise (and kexts!)

Then I need to get the 4600 working with HDMI properly (audio and fix boot loop on startup w/external monitors attached), but I'll reply to other topics related to these issues if I can't get them working properly.

Thanks again!

I did notice now that the USB is functioning correctly, sleep is no longer working (which doesn't surprise me).

I was getting this in the log: Wake reason: EH01 EH02 XHC HDEF

Which lead me to here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...-usb-series-89-keeping-vanilla-sle/?p=2177035

And I tried the same steps as described (previously renamed EHCx, applied usb 15 limit patch to clover, and patched DSDT with that "ACPI disconnect from PCIe identity") and that improved things a little, in that the wake reason is a little more specific:

Wake reason: EH02
[IOBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport][SetRemoteWakeUp] -- deviceRequest() failed: 0xE0005000 (kUSBHostReturnPipeStalled)
ARPT: 79.039742: AirPort_Brcm43xx:owerChange: System Wake - Full Wake/ Dark Wake / Maintenance wake

Going to try and hopefully resolve. Any suggest appreciated as always

Use _PRW patches for instant wake (disconnecting ACPI identity is bad idea).

So I bought a GMYLE 4.0 Bluetooth dongle and it is detected natively by OS X El Capitan. However Handoff isn't working. I don't need Wi-Fi since my hackintosh uses ethernet all the time. I tried the BT4LE-Handoff-Hotspot patch using Clover but I still see Handoff not working.

Then I tried BrcmPatchRAM2 and BrcmFirmwareData and still I don't see Handoff working.

Am I missing something? Or how does one enable Handoff on Bluetooth 4.0 dongles?
