[SOLVED] Strange PowerNap/SMBIOS(Board-ID)/Airport behavior

[RehabMan]

Okay so after what seems like the 100th restart, the sound now works. I didn't do anything special, first boot without caches, ran "sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /" (just like everytime else), rebooted, no sound, reboot again, no sound. But this particular time it complied. No idea; making time machine backup now
Thanks for all the help @RehabMan

for future:
- boot without caches *must* be done via Clover option (accessed via space bar)
- rebuild cache *must* be done very soon after booting

That's weird, the only way I know of to reliably boot without caches is pressing SPACE in clover (don't trust -f or UseKernelCache flags); I'm just glad the sound issue worked out... however it's murphy's law at work... I'm being punished for fixing a working system

The bluetooth appears to be malfunctioning after sleep :<
Pressing the hardware button a few times results in bluetooth working, but then WiFi becomes disabled :\

Here's the support zip I was going to upload yesterday. I added an IOREG dump of before and after sleeping. If there's anything else I can add to help let me know.
I had trouble with Bluetooth with PBI also, to get around the issue I remember experimenting with kexts I used in Yosemite, none of the kext backups I've kept are working, and I'm now just working with regular El Capitan versions. Just doesn't work after a 5minute sleep.
Most obvious thing somethings wrong:

Your problem is caused by Android File Transfer.

Read the FAQ: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

That's so weird, I've always used Android File Transfer, as long as it's been out. I use OSX everyday.
I will try without it, never would have seen the link between the two, thanks for suggestion

It is a well known incompatibility between BrcmPatchRAM and AFT. It comes up quite often. People should read the FAQ...

Thanks a lot, seems to be working fine after wake up now (4 wakes in so far, all good); now to figure out the default/best value for darkwake, starting with 11 (seems to be default) and going from there.

Glad I took the plunge(usually never touch working systems), a little bit readier to upgrade now when Sierra rolls around, support much appreciated

I never use the darkwake flag.

 

[kusakata]

I never use the darkwake flag.

Thanks again for the input! I had noticed earlier that by feeding it the darkwake=11 flag, I wasn't seeing anything at all in the system log/dmesg/ about wakeups. Time machine was also not completing.
Removed the flag and restarted, hopefully no extra configuration necessary

 

[kusakata]

Seems like bluetooth is still dying upon wake, even without AFT
Man, Yosemite really was a better operating system in every way I can think of... el cap has been nothing but troublesome and sacrifices :\
