Hi
Again - any ideas/thoughts would be helpful - thanks.......
I have the machine all up and running thanks to @feartech & @pastrychef
The BCM943360CS2 and m2 adapter have arrived so ready for the next step.
Preparation
1. I have backed up the EFI folder on the EFI Partition
2. Full Time Machine backup completed
QUESTION 1: Is there anything else I should do to ensure a return to good state before proceeding?
The M2 on my motherboard means that the m2 card has to upside down horizontally to the motherboard.
QUESTION 2: When you put the m2 adapter with the BCM943360CS2 on to it, it is quite fat and the m2 adapter will only go in at a 45 degree angle - it it possible you just need to push it a tad harder (than I am confident with right no) to get it to sit parallel to the mobo?
QUESTION 3: I also purchased some UFL Mini PCI to RP SNAPigtail Antenna Wifi Cables - I cannot see how to connect the pigtails to the BCM943360CS2 card - I can see the connectors but they seem to resist being connected is there a knack to it?
