So WiFi works with this adapter by just installing the driver that comes with the device, or by using Wifi Usb adapter clover v7. I thought bluetooth was natively supported through USB dongles on MAC OSX, but for some reason I can't get it to recognize this device as a bluetooth adapter. I've read through the laptop FAQ and this adapter is supported. I'm on 10.14.4, I've tried BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext in L/E along with the continuity activation tool. The continuity activation tool doesn't recognize the adapter once I unplug and replug as prompted by the script. I've also tried removing all of these and using BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext as well. My bluetooth symbol shows on always, yet it can't find any devices. From the image above it look's like it's still trying to use the internal bluetooth card I have on my laptop. I've configured my USB ports properly using this https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...eating-a-custom-usb-ssdt.272505/#post-1915911 guide. Could anyone shed some light on why this isn't working for me, or what steps I can take to make it recognize the USB dongle? I'd prefer not to remove the internal card if necessary.
