New Broadcom Chip on BCM943602CS Card? #35

Description

@derpuma

Hi the-darkvoid, rehabman?,
just want to let you know, that I bought a BCM943602CS with PCI-E Adapter at ebay.
System Profiler detected the BT Part of the Card under USB as BCM2045A0 (0x05ac/0x21ff)!
I had to duplicate a key in the info.plist of your BrcmPatchRAM2.kext an modified it to match my device 0x21ff:
<key>0a5c_21ff</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.no-one.BrcmPatchRAM2</string> <key>DisplayName</key> <string>Broadcom BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0 +HS USB Device</string> <key>FirmwareKey</key> <string>BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1463_v5559</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>BrcmPatchRAM2</string> <key>IOMatchCategory</key> <string>BrcmPatchRAM2</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOUSBHostDevice</string> <key>idProduct</key> <integer>8703</integer> <key>idVendor</key> <integer>2652</integer> </dict>

Also I had to make a change in the S/L/E/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport.kext/Contents/Info.plist
I had to duplicate an IOClass key to match my vendor and device id:
<key>IOClass</key> <string>BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOUSBHostDevice</string> <key>idProduct</key> <integer>8703</integer> <key>idVendor</key> <integer>2652</integer> </dict>

After that, the Broadcom BT was detected and fully working under OSX Sierra!
Maybe this is a new chip you have not integrated so far in your BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and you want to include it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

BR, derpuma
