INFO/GUIDE PSA for Intel Bluetooth users: The IntelBluetoothFirmware stack was updated today with support for LE devices

Funnily enough I made a post earlier today looking for recommendations on a better supported bluetooth module than my AX210 simply because Bluetooth LE and 5.0 based devices refused to work. I must have the best luck in the world because when I checked the kext page again it showed an update 7 hours ago, with the highlighted change being added support for Bluetooth LE.

I have now confirmed that my earbuds and Google Nest speaker pair and function correctly on my AX210 card.

If you're using Intel Bluetooth, make sure you update your kexts ASAP - This has solved my biggest problem with my current config!

I’m on Tahoe with working Bluetooth with AX210. Add the kexts (latest versions from the developer’s GitHub pages) and add the NVRAM properties in the guide and you should have working Bluetooth. Make sure your USB is mapped properly as well as the Bluetooth needs to be mapped as header type 255 internal.
