Samsung NP530U3B and BCM4352

[chatzki]

Hi!

I have Samsung NP530U3B with the Wifi/Bluetooth card (Azurewave AW-CE123H 802.11ac/nbg WiFi+BT Broadcom BCM4352 867Mbps Bluetooth 4.0) and I can't see BT card in USB section under Hardware of System Information. The card is proved to be working OK. The laptop's original Bluetooth (intel centrino) was working OOB and was seen under USB tab in System Info. Please, assist.

Probably some sort of USB problem. Try using latest GenericUSBXHCI.kext (yours is not the latest) or AppleUSBXHCI.kext (you'll need patches for it).

Also, do you have bluetooth on Windows?

Shame and fail. I never tested it under Windows, I thought the mechanism is the same as with Intel Centrino hardware, half-wifi, half-bt. Windows doesn't see the BT either. Sorry for bothering, it's probably incompatible.
