Hi Forum,

Firstly a sincere thanks to Tony, Macman + all for your help in getting us Hackintoshes without too much pain, we all really appreciate it.

I've recently upgraded my system to Yosemite and all is working fine, I decided to invest in a new Handoff compatible bluetooth card and purchased a BRCM20702 PCI adapter and plugged it into my Z77-DS3H in a PCI x1 slot. The system sees the card as can be verified by the following screen grabs.

You can see the USB BRCM20702 is detected as a Bluetooth adapter, but I cannot use it. Similarly the Wifi is detected but I cannot use it either. If I enable wifi in System Preferences -> Networks, it just disables it immediately. Similarly the USB Belkin Bluetooth dongle I use is seen but the new Bluetooth PCI adapter isn't.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi again, more information and a cry for help.

I've managed to somehow enable the PCI Bluetooth adapter by keeping the Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter on, unpairing the keyboard, rebooting using a USB keyboard and pairing with the BRCM20702 PCI adapter. Now I have my Apple Bluetooth keyboard working fine, using my PCI Bluetooth, no USB Bluetooth is plugged in.

This is where is gets weird. If you look in the System Report, you see that the Bluetooth Hardware is still the Belkin adapter, its using that stack and not the one associated with the Apple one. I can also see the Bluetooth PCI is now drawing 94 mA so its working fine as well, so I know everything is associated and working with the new PCI card but why isn't it picking up the right driver?

I also see no Handoff in System Preferences->General and other indicators that it works either.

Any thoughts?

Can I drop the Belkin driver and get it to pickup the new Apple drivers from Yosemite?

Thanks for any comments.
