Hi everyone. Probably going to sound absolutely stupid, but do you have to have USB connection with mini pcie to pcie(x1) adapter? I have an adapter with no USB cable coming off of it, and have just got an Azurewave BCM94352HMB connected to it. Is this why my bluetooth isn't working/showing up?

The bluetooth component uses USB. If fail to connect it, no expectation of it working.
 
You can patch my dsdt or config di I post here??

Thanks for the reply. Okay, so order an adapter with USB cable then. Will I be able to plug it into a normal USB port, as I don't have a USB hub on my motherboard?

It would require a cable reaching out of the chassis and into an external port.
 
What do you think abiti my situation? You think my Wi-Fi card si compatibile on my hardware?

I don't mind that, if it will definitely get the damn thing working. So the generic cable that typically comes with a PCIe(x1) adapter will definitely fit the an external(normal) USB port?
This is my motherboard:-

This is the adapter I'm guessing I would need:-

Would I have to modify that USB cable?

Probably not. It is likely the cable is meant to plug into a USB2 motherboard header. You'll likely need an adapter.

Okay cool. Last one(hopefully) and I'll stop hassling you hehe.
Do you reckon this is a compatible combo and do you think it'll get bluetooth working with BCM94352HMB plugged in?

USB 4-pin header to USB A cable:-

or shall I keep the original cable that comes with the adapter and get a USB 9-pin header male to USB A cable?
Thank you for your help so far and hopefully you're available to help me with the solution.

Looks ok to me. I think that "adapter" actually includes the BCM4352... (at least it is implied by the listing).
