Hell o,

i have noticed the following with Mac OS Monterey and MacPro5,1

since iam using OpenCore able to install and run Mac OS Monterey and this functions quite well;


now the installed Bluetooth Card is probably the classic card for the MacPro that was available at the time, and the card is active and functions under other MacOS like Mojave and also under Windows 10/11.

Now in Monterey it is "disabled" and i cannot toggle it on.

But since the Bluetooth is still functioning whenever i boot into Mojave or Windows, i am wondering, if the Bluetooth card still sends information out "clandestinely" under Monterey, even though it shows as "off"?

Is it possible to check if the card sends out info with low-tech-equipment?
do i need a second computer with wireshark to check it?
any input appreciated.

Thank you for your information.
