I purchased this and plugged it in:

 

          Set of Hackintosh Apple BCM94360CD BT4.0 Wifi Card & PCI-E Adapter With Antenna

 

Wi-Fi is working fine (system report):

 

en0:

  Card Type: AirPort Extreme  (0x14E4, 0x111)

  Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.15.159.13.12)

  MAC Address: b8:09:8a:cd:8b:e3

  Locale: FCC

  Country Code: US

  Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac

  Supported Channels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 144, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165

  Wake On Wireless: Supported

  AirDrop: Supported

 

  Status: Connected

 

Bluetooth however is not. System report say 'no information available' under bluetooth.  The following shows up in the system report under USB, which makes me think it's recognizing the device as bluetooth capable, but not utilizing it for some reason.  Any help would be appreciated.

You didn't get the original Apple card. The product ID of the Bluetooth chip is different. I have the same problem from the same seller.

Start reading here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/302410-patch-enabling-handoff-for-non-apple-bt4-devices/?p=2111656

I posted in another thread about that too but I'm on mobile and can't quickly find that other post. Check my posts on my profile...

VirusX Thanks a ton for the info. I just got the bluetooth working using the kext mentioned on the thread you linked to!  No Handoff as of yet, but I haven't read through or tried everything since I got the bluetooth up and working.

for handoff you probably have to add the handoff patch to clover (also mentioned in the linked thread)

Add this to KextsToPatch in clover:
 
           Filename: IOBluetoothFamily
           Find: 48 85 C0 74 5C 0F B7 48 
           Replace: 41 BE 0F 00 00 00 EB 59

please report back if you got wifi and bluetooth up and running at the same time. This is where I have problems right now. As soon as I turn bluetooth on, my wifi connection rate drops to almost zero. Maybe this is a yosemite issue though. Bluetooth is using the same (2.4 GHz) frequency as my wifi - maybe they interfere :(

Sorry it took me so long to get back. Messed up my whole extensions file folder doing something stupid, so this issue got put on the burner.  Anyway, hope this helps.

 

 

From what I remember the only thing I did before I went MIA was install the bt firmware uploader kext from the thread you linked me to and everything bluetooth related, including airdrop, worked except for continuity/handoff.

 

I yesterday I got my whole system up and running and installed the continuity activation tool: https://github.com/dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool/ followed its instructions and everything worked.

Damn, sorry about that ; so where to find genuine Apple ones?

I guess one way would be to contact the seller beforehand and ask if they have the card with the right product IDs. If they confirm and don't deliver, you will at least have a reason to return the card/ask for replacement...
