10-1-19 Update: Finally back at Amazon.com

Q. Why is a natively supported card so important ?
A. At some point in time, Apple will completely deprecate kexts, probably sooner than you think. Cards like this don't need you to install any kexts to make it function. Works as soon as you plug it in to a PCIe slot. For the BT part to work you will need a USB-SSDT for your motherboard that enables the internal BT header.
If you want even better range from this card you can add a high gain antenna if you are a long ways away from your router. Some say that this increases the signal 10x.

Update 9-6-17 It's now over 3 months since the Fenvi FV-T919 has been out of stock at Amazon.com therefore we have removed it from the current Buyer's Guide. It's occasionally possible to find one on Ebay if you watch for it.

This is the OOB compatible PCI-e adapter Wifi/BT card with the iMac BCM94360CD wireless card included.
You'll need an open PCI-e x1 slot on your motherboard.
It costs more than ordering it direct from China but you'll get it about 3x faster. If you need to return it for any reason, you won't have to deal with the hassle of sending it back to China. Just a few things to consider.
Hope they tripled their order this time !
