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
