Hardware mods/changes:

the onboard intel WLAN and BT isn't supported by macOS. the best way was to buy the FENVI T919 card - which use the original BCM Chips (native apple support - Broadcom chips)

the benefit by this card: Bluetooth antenna too

the WLAN card need a additional USB connection, the card comes with an cable to get USB from the mainboard USB headers, in my CASE is the header still in usage from the front USB ports of the case, but only 4 of 8 pins was in used.

so I removed the cables from the jack and plugged it to the jack of the front USB connection:
