That card looks like NGFF, not half-mini PCIe.

NGFF cards that are compatible with OS X are hard to come by and a bit expensive (ATM).

You should verify form factor and valid replacement parts by reading your service manual.

LiteOn NFA335 is AR9565, which is not compatible with OS X.
BCM43142 is not compatible with OS X.

It is possible there is no whitelist and you can install the BCM94352Z that is OS X compatible...

If there is a whitelist, you'd need to rebrand the BCM94352Z as BCM43142 (Lenovo branding). To do that, you'd need a PC with NGFF support without a whitelist (as the card must be active/working to do the rebrand). And, of course, you'd need the Lenovo ids that the BIOS expects so you know which IDs should be used. Then you could use FakePCIID to make it work... It probably won't work on Windows, so on Windows, you'd need to use USB WiFi.
 
i think i should better buy USB dongle for hackintosh itself the edimax one u said.

Yes, probably best for now. You can always revisit it later when the prices for the BCM94352Z come down.
 
Or you could buy powerline adapters. That is what I have done
