Hey all,
Just wanted to let you guys know that it appears that Amazon suddenly has a stock of Broadcom BCM94352Z, which is the same wireless AC and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo card that we all know and love. The difference here is that this chip is in a NGFF M.2 form factor, which is great for many newer laptops and personally, my GA-X99-UD4, which has a native WiFi port on the board that accepts an M.2 WiFi card and has antenna built into the I/O Shield.
I've placed an order for myself, but the chip is coming from China and shipping estimates show a delivery on October 2nd, at the earliest. I am hoping it doesn't take that long so that I can report back and let you guys know if it's worth the investment. I've actually tried to order this chip from China before through taobao, but the seller was actually out of stock. Hopefully, this one will come through.
I know how tough it is to get these Wireless Cards, so I figured I'd let you all know and pray for the best.

I will report back, hopefully with good news, when the chip arrives.
