Will BT 3.0 HS Work With Handoff

[tanuagg13]

Hi,

I was just wondering, I recently ordered an AR5B195 combo card (contains AR9285 WiFi and AR3011 Bluetooth). The card lists support for Bluetooth 3.0 HS, so I was wondering if that would work with the new Continuity/Handoff features in Yosemite.

If not, are there any reasons fundamentally blocking development of a kext, dsdt patch, etc. that would enable this goal?

For one only broadcom wifi + broadcom bluetooth work

Is the fundamental obstacle that the Handoff software itself does not support Atheros cards? Why isn't it possible to fix this, e.g. by a hex edit?

I don't know the details, but I assume the BT implementation is not complete/correct enough.
