rominator Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 You will either need to find a good hack from Toleda et al or use an official Apple board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankiep Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 so if i buy a BCM94360CD (Wifi + BT card present in apple macs 2013) with a Mini-PCIE to PCIE adapter, it will definitely work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrieken213 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It worked in a real Mac Pro; it should work on your hackintosh as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Milev Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I bought the adapter from osxwifi.com, they also sell Broadcom bcm94360cd but I got it from ebay. Can you give some links to what exactly you bought, because I don't get it where from and what did you buy? Did you buy separately an adapter mini PCI-e to PCI-e?

Thanks Taruga for the info. i'm looking for that too but i don't understand why they have added USB connection on the pcb for bluetooth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Milev Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I didn't either in the beginning, but the idea is that bluetooth connects through USB to the motherboard and because of that, they have the data connection wires on additional connector which you connect to a header inside the case.

Stefan Milev Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It will not work, these are the data connections, without them connected = no bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
