Hi. I got a Dell Optiplex FX 160 and I can't get the bluetooth part of combo wifi/bt cards to work. Essentially the wifi functionality of cards like the broadcom 4312 would work, but the bluetooth part (broadcom 2046 which reports itself as usb but is actually part of the mini-pcie wifi card) just won't appear. Also mini-pcie wifi cards like the realtek rtl8187se (which is mini-pcie but reports itself as usb) just won't be detected at all. From other posts here and info on the web I learned that some BIOSes lock/turn-off the USB lane in the mini-pcie slot. And wanted to request a version of the A13 BIOS (https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/attachment.php?aid=9567) for the Dell Optiplex FX 160 that has the USB lane on the mini-pcie slot unlocked and turned on.
