Bluetooth & WiFi n00b

[egparadigm]

Hi All,

 

New to the forum and hackintoshing.

 

I have built TonyMacX's mini deluxe with the GA-Z87N-WIFI mobo and am running Mavericks/10.9.4. WiFi apparently is a no go and it turns out the bluetooth has serious issues. I had it working at one point, but now it's gone AWOL and from all I have read it doesn't look like anyone has got it going properly.

 

My situation: I don't really *need* WiFi, it would be a nice extra. I need bluetooth only because I have a wireless mouse I rather like (in fact I had to borrow this wired mouse )!

 

Can someone introduce me to this world of WiFi & BT on hackintosh? I found Toleda's guide and read a few other threads.

 

Is there a plug and play option available to me? I want to minimise any additional software fixes to avoid agony when I inevitably update the OS. It seems like the only plug and play for BT is a dongle, such as GMYLE – is that right?

 

I am very fond of the little aerial that came with my mobo and I had hoped to simply replace the card on the mobo, which I think is a mini-PCIe? Are there any options better than the one's Toleda mentions?

 

Probably really obvious stuff, but I'd love some help from someone more experienced. Thanks for reading.
