Someone asked what does taping a pin here means. Below is the verbose : Basically, you take an electrical insulation adhesive tape. Using a scissor cutout a thin rectangular slice of this tape with a dimension slightly larger than the pin so that it will just fully cover this one pin on the combo card. Stick it on this pin #. Slide the card back into the PCI slot and you are good to go. So taping means just electrically insulating this specific pin# to make contact with its PCI female connector.

Anyone using AzureWave AW-CEH123H/ BCM943225HMB and not able to see the hardware in the System Info; it could be the whitelist in the BIOS. I had the issue using this one with HP Pavilion N15-204TX where the Wifi worked out of the box in Windows 8.1 and OS X 10.9.5 dual boot mode but could not detect the Bluetooth device in both. The solution is to defeat the while list disabling in BIOS by - Taping Pin 51 on the AW-CEH123H if Bluetooth is whitelisted - Taping Pin 20 if Wi-Fi is whitelisted then use the plain vanilla Apple BT drivers applying the BT Firmware upload kext here and the 5Ghz unlock patch. Rebooting the machine and Wifi (2.4 Ghz/5Hhz with Airdrop and Wake-on-lan) as well as Bluetooth works fine now. Thanks to various members contributing here. Here relevant System Info from my OS X 10.9.5 .
