I can confirm that that Broadcam Chip does work with Hands off. I'm using mine with a mini PCI E adapter.

If you plan on dual booting, there are drivers in bootcamp for the wifi and bluetooth to work there too:)

You are using H97N-Wifi. This motherboard already has dedicated PCIE slot for Wifi and Bluetooth therefore you have not run into problems. I am asking because the motherboard in my wish list doesnt have builtin wifi PCIE

Any mods?
