WarpedBiotic Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) This card has great signalling, too bad it uses an USB header and I only have one on my motherboard. Definitely an important point to be aware if anyone considers buying it. Wifi goes through PCI slot, connect to the USB header for the Bluetooth functionality.

On Apple cards both wifi and bt go through the PCI slot, but on this one you need to connect to the USB header for the Bluetooth functionality. Not true. Even on Apple-branded WiFi cards BT is handled by USB.

Then I stand corrected. Couldn't see any cable attachment on the pictures. That seems so unnecessary!

foskvs Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 That's because Apple uses its own form factor, similar to NGFF. Thus it doesn't need a USB cable. But on hacks you will need it. 5 minutes ago, WarpedBiotic said: That seems so unnecessary! You can still use the card without BT. Of course, Airport, handoff, etc. will not work.

Nizzlay Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Got the card in the mail today. Connected, and all worked instantly. Didn't have to touch a single setting. Hackintosh is 100% fully functional now. Vanilla. 10.14.2.
