I have an "AirPort" card that is a PCI-E Broadcom with Bluetooth and WiFi on it. I bought it from OSXWifi and it's been great when I don't have weird USB issues stomping all over and breaking the Bluetooth portion.
At any rate, I went ahead and bought a Thunderbolt 2 EX card for my Asus Gryphon Z97 and the Caldigit Thunderbolt dock-block (eSATA, USB 3, audio, Thunderbolt, Ethernet) and put that card in the bottom slot as recommended, and bumped my Airport card to the 2nd-furthest-from-CPU slot, and left my GTX 760 on Slot 1.
My AirPort card is not available to OS X anymore, and that isn't a show-stopper because I really only have it for Handoff/Continuity, but I'd like to have it working again, I just don't know where to even start.
I've swapped AirPort and Thunderbolt cards with no effect, I swapped them back. The Thunderbolt configuration in EFI allows me to designate which PCI Root it lives on, I've had it set to 4, and when I changed it to 6 (thinking the bottom slot would be the last two; 6 & 7) but that caused a PCI mis-match in EFI pre-boot and then Thunderbolt and AirPort weren't showing up in OS X.
I should note that I have no idea what PCI Root address means in this context, nor why I can't pick one for the other PCI cards.
Any ideas?
