This is the combo wi-fi/bluetooth half mini card that comes with the Z87N-WIFI and also the H87N-WIFI. Do yourself a favor before you install and rip it out!!!!!!!!!!
We all know the wi-fi card will never work and the forum is littered with posts from people trying to get the bluetooth working. In my opinion it's not worth the hassle.
I purchased an AR9280 for wi-fi from amazon and installed it into the half-mini slot on the motherboard. Works like a charm. Natively supported in OSX. Did not need to install any kext, drivers, patches etc. Install the hardware and it works OOB. Also, the AR9380 works natively but I have not tried that one.

I also purchased a GMYLE USB Bluetooth 4.0 adapter (10m version) from Amazon for $10. Also works like a charm.
