Btw, why can no one make drivers for those cards?

It's not an easy task. Takes lots of time and efforts. And the real Macs already have a built-in WiFi and BT so no one bothers.

Ok, so, can you recommend a dongle with WiFi and Bluetooth that supports MacOS?

No any experience with that.

I have a bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle plugged into my gaming PC and it’s working fine with MacOS.
So, I just don’t get why there are no WiFi+BT MacOS compatible dongles.

Yes, that's the point. It works separately. I haven't seen any WiFi+BT together working.

So, is there a way to get my Broadcom card to work (only WiFi) or should I get the Atheros card and use it only for WiFi?

I am going to check if my laptop does have a bios whitelist by putting an Intel card that I have into it (without an HP part number).

Looks like my HP laptop doesn’t have a bios whitelist.

I took the Intel card from my Lenovo laptop and inserted it into the HP laptop and it booted without any problems.
But, the Lenovo laptop does have a whitelist because when I tried the Broadcom card (from the HP laptop) in it, it said unauthorized network card.

Broadcom is better. Atheros is fine too.

Okay!

It's good that HP doesn't have whitelist so you're good to go. Yes, Lenovo Laptops has this issue.

Some HP laptops do have that whitelist.

Btw, the Broadcom one I asked you about was the one I have already. But I think that it’s not supported under MacOS.
