so this is the only other choice for ngff? I cannot find 1. also I cannot find ngff to mini pcie adapter. do they make 1?
@Mrgeque,
In post #216 you stated that you where thinking of using BCM94352Z ... which is a M.2 (NGFF) Combo card, I therefore assumed that you had a suitable M.2 (NGFF) slot available on your system.
The 'Z' on the end of the model number indicates that it is the M.2 (NGFF) variant of the card ..
If your laptop has a mini PCI slot then you can use the BCM94352HMB combo card, the most common and successful variant to use in a Hackingtosh is the Azurewave AW-CE123H :-
Bluetooth 4.0 BCM94352HMB Azurewave AC 876M WIFI WLAN PCI-E Mini Card AW-CE123H | eBay
Model: BCM94352HMB. Support to Bluetooth 4.0. Interface: Mini PCIe (half). Dualband 2.4 Ghz und 5 Ghz abgn+ac, 2x2. Half MINI PCI-E. You may need full size bracket to screw up the card.

The Mini PCIe version does not suffer from the faulting interrupt issue that the 'Z' M.2 version does, I used one for years in my old Sony VAIO laptop with no problems ... however it is an old card and chipset only supports BT 4.0.
Cheers
Jay
