More updates. Mind boggling stuff. After a week of things working perfectly, this wifi/bt combo card has gone back to the wifi connection just hanging after being booted for a while, and now the bt is randomly disconnecting. Still works in bios/boot at least! Haha.Updates.
So I’ve been in a situation recently where a wired connection just isn’t possible at all. So, I’ve been forced to mess around to make this MQUPIN Fenvi T919 wifi/bt card work. Getting any other cards seems to be impossible in Canada right now.
In addition to plugging in the BT header to the F_USB on the motherboard, I ended up having to do the following combination of things to get it working fully and reliably.
1) I put the card in the 2nd PCIE long slot (between the 2 nvme slots) in order to get the Bluetooth working in bios and boot and after boot. No other slots would do this for me.
2) To get my wifi working without stalling and becoming unusable after booting, I added the latest AirportBrcmFixup kext and then removed the plugin, AirPortBrcm4360_Injector.kext inside the package (you can disable it instead) and added the country code and used brcmfx-driver=2 in my boot arguments (not sure if these were needed or not but I added them anyway).
To be safe, I also cleared NVRAM after moving the card and adding the modified kext and boot arguments for opencore.
Handoff, Airdrop, Sidecar, wifi and bt all work fine now for me.
Just when I think progress is made it just reverts to being flakey again. Very frustrating. The pleasures of hackintosh. Not sure this issue will ever be sorted out unfortunately.
