BCM2045 Bluetooth device on OSX

I recently bought a Broadcom USB Bluetooth Dongle for my iPC osx86. Apparently osx seemed to detect the bluetooth usb device on system profiler:

 

bcm2045b2

0x4500

0x0a5c

 

/bcm2045b3(rom)

0x2038

0x0a5c

 

The problem is when I click on the Bluetooth file exchange software...it says no bluetooth found (or something like that)

I also don't see the bluetooth pref on my preference directory. I suspect that the drivers for the bluetooth device aren't installed properly but I thought this chipset was suppose to be plug and play for osx?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Try adding your device id's to Iobluetoothfamily/contents/plugins/BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController.kext/Contents/info.plist

 

i actually did....anyway what's the right set of ids that i should use here

 

bcm2045b2

0x4500

0x0a5c

 

or

 

/bcm2045b3(rom)

0x2038

0x0a5c

 

?

This is my info.plist. I edited some of the productIDs and vendorIDs already but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. Please help. Thanks!

could you share your info.plist ? I made those changes in product ID (vendor was same), but didnt work, meaning it says no bluetooth hardware
