[Derr1ck]

Hi All,

I would like to know which wifi card I need to get for my hackintosh to work I currently have Intel 7260 and I just bought the
AzureWave AW-NE773 Atheros AR9280 AR5BHB92 Half Mini PCIE which doesn't fit my laptop. Looks like a need full height PCI-E card.

Thanks

Seems strange your laptop would require a full size (not half-mini) card.

I have both a half size and a full size atheros, and they both work... simultaneously, at that.

This is relevant how?

I'm confused as to which card is the size in the picture attached the red arrow points to the card I just bought and the card to the right is original card installed my laptop which looks completely different, the connector and width of the card is different, what card do i need?

Your existing card is not mini PCIe (half or full). It is M.2 (formerly called NGFF).
