This legacy kext enables use of the optimized Broadcom bluetooth drivers instead of the standard generic one.
You need to put your USB Bluetooth Vendor + Device ID inside the plist (3x)
After this you just install it under /S/L/E.
The stock version has vendor + device id inside it for an Acer Aspire One D250.
Enjoy much more stable bluetooth experience.

If you still can't get it to go (because of failure to connect to devices or so) you can try the alternate legacy driver below.
It uses the by Apple supported Broadcom BCM2045/2046 dongle as injected id instead of Apple data.
