did you have a combo wifi/BT card you might have swiped out of your machine for a compatible wifi card?

I'm sure it's a Independent BT card, I tried to boot from win7 system after replaced wifi card from my 6230, bt works fine under win7.

 

thanks

To get bluetooth working on my E6330 on both Mountain Lion and Mavericks I had to edit IOBluetoothFamily.kext/BroadcomBluetoothHCIControllerUSBTransport.kext and add my device ID's into the info.plist.

(On Mavericks it is IOBluetoothFamily.kext/BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport.kext)

 

Is yours a Broadcom(Dell Wireless 380) Vendor ID 0x413c Product ID 0x8197?

you are correct, I checked BT Vendor ID under win7, it is VID 0x413C & PID 0x8197.

 

and I tried to edit info.plist, but it didn't work for me.

 

would you help me how to edit it?

 

thanks

Hi Hervé

It's not a simple matter of placing the patched kext in /S/L/E/ or/E/E and repairing permissions, you have to rebuild cache too! Keeping your /S/L/E/IOBluetoothFamily kext untouched, copy the attached to /E/E, then re-run myFix (quick) and reboot.
