Success - Build Your Own Wi-Fi Card

[FZ1]

Based on the guide HERE, I built a working wi-fi card. I couldn't find the exact parts referenced in the guide (it's a bit dated) so I improvised a bit and the parts I bought work perfectly. I thought I would post up as it may help others who are trying to track down good parts. The links are to the exact pieces I bought on ebay. Cost me all of $30 (prices for these have changed...I paid $21 & $9 respectively...I'm sure they can be found for less from others).

I had to reboot once after the install to get it functioning properly. Otherwise, I did no other OS or software mods.

I didn't get fancy with the cables but I had a leftover decal I got for free when I got my hackintosh decals so I put it to good use

Nice! I actually just did this as well... I was surprised at how easy it was. Wi-Fi works perfect now!

Hey, I was just curious, there are some holes on the ends of the card, with sold all around them, are you supposed to screen those down or anything?

I'm not sure I understand your question?
