M.2 NGFF Key B+M Adapter - WiFi OK, no Bluetooth from BCM94360CS2 #27

Hi,

So the guide mentions this:

BCM94360CS2 (2 antenna IPEX4 connector) Wi-Fi/Bluetooth + M.2 NGFF Key B+M Adapter. Intel antenna replacement is NOT required but 2.4 GHz will have conflicts with bluetooth as they share the same connector.

I used the BCM94360CS2 with the onboard Intel IPEX4/MHF4 connectors. My question is, would it completely stop BT from showing up in macOS, or do I just have a bad adapter? I mean, I get the thing with the antenna and conflicts, but here the OS appears to not even detect the hardware. (If I remember correctly, trying BCM943602CDP in the past yielded similar results).

All I want is that the AirDrop would function 😥

Update:

I just tried a WiFi card from another MacBook Air. Same thing, no BT showed up.

Hi,

  1. You can first try installing Windows and see if Bluetooth works (Drivers are required. download link )
  2. You can try rebuild the kext cache with the below command.
sudo kextcache -i /

Good luck

Thank you for response.

Great idea, I'll try number 1 tomorrow, will have the time.

As for the cache, I did it many times (just today I added the microSD card reader kext, after which hackintool rebuilt the cache on its own).

I assume I don't need any kexts, as BCM94360CS2 is a native card, correct?

P.S. I checked the wire continuity (the red and black wires from the adapter to USB header) and they're fine. I also ordered two more adapters. If these don't work with any of the three native cards I've got, then it's the USB header that's toast.

I tried a different adapter. Still no luck. Is it possible, that I have to map that USB header? That would be weird, as all the USB ports work OK. Should I try the second USB header?

Bump.
