Need your help on Broadcom AzureWave AW-CE123H

I post this thread here as many of the G750 notebooks own this card as WLAN ac / BT 4.0 combo module.

I am proud owner of an ASUS Eee PC 1215B with E450 apu running Windows 7 Ultimate at 64 bits. Yes, proud! It is a great piece of cheap but powerful hardware.

So I did nearely everthing to pimp it to the maximum (2 pcs 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1866 modules for 8GB in total, 2 TB Spinpoint M9T harddrive and now the new Mini PCI-E card Broadcom AzureWave AW-CE123H with wlan a/b/g/n/ac and BT 4.0).

I installed the new card yesterday by throwing out the slow standard Broadcom AzureWave AW-NB047H (65MBit max + BT 2/3?).

With the drivers from the ASUS support page the WiFi works great right from the start.

But my problem is the Bluetooth. There is no entry for in the device manager and the option is missing in the BIOS, too. When I try switch on/off WiFi normally WiFi+BT are shown. But now there is only WiFi to see. I even cannot install the Bluetooth driver as it tells I shall check for Blutooth module being switched on. But no chance on this.

For my knowledge this must be a BIOS problem. Either whitelist or blacklist — dunno.

Maybe can solve that problem with modding the latest BIOS with the probably missing vendor IDs. That is where I need your help!

Those having the card must have beside «Broadcom 802.11 ac Network Adapter» another entry for the Bluetooth in their device manager. Under Details/Hardware IDs you can find the vendor IDs I will need for the modding.

For the WiFi this looks like:

PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_43B1&SUBSYS_21231A3B&REV_03
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_43B1&SUBSYS_21231A3B
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_43B1&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_43B1&CC_0280

Please anyone with the same vendors above copy/paste the bluetooth vendor ID part here.

Hope with that a BIOS modding will be successful so I can use the Bluetooth, too.
