lemmyc Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I updated to Mountain Lion and my D-Link DB-120 Bluetooth dongle has been working intermittently. It was working at first, then stopped. Then started working again - now not. I think the changes are to do with the way I've been loading kexts. I was experimenting with the Lion bluetooth kexts in an attempt to fix things. Now I've moved all my kexts to S/L/E and rebuilt the kernel cache. I'm using the Mountain Lion bluetooth kexts. The Bluetooth dongle is not properly recognised: Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 4.1.7f2 12718 Hardware Settings: Address: 00-13-46-11-6E-8F Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio Name: xxx's Mac Pro Firmware Version: 525 Bluetooth Power: On Discoverable: Off Connectable: Yes Remote wake: On Vendor ID: 0x0A12 Product ID: 0x0001 HCI Version: 0x1 HCI Revision: 0x20D LMP Version: 0x1 LMP Subversion: 0x20D Device Type (Major): Miscellaneous Device Type (Complete): Miscellaneous Composite Class Of Device: 0x0000 Device Class (Major): 0x00 Device Class (Minor): 0x00 Service Class: 0x00 If I use the Lion bluetooth kexts, the dongle is recognised correctly. But when I do sudo kextcache -prelinked-kernel to rebuild the kernel cache, there is an error with the AppleHIDMouse kext, and I guess this is why my Magic Mouse is not detected. There is also an error if I use the Lion AppleHIDMouse.kext Any suggestions? Other people seem to have this dongle working in ML OK... Thanks.
