Greetings all, Just chiming in after the holidays to bring this up to date. My thanks to Kris for the information re: the hacked driver, and for Peter and John chiming in with salient info. Alas, nothing appears to help, and I am faced with the realization that apparently, not all Broadcoms are created equal, which is disconcerting because that just adds a deeper level of homework I need to do, still wanting/needing to get this unit on wireless. The host card appears to be working, just the mini-e wireless card itself is the culprit. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work? - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacBook-BCM4321-WiFi-mini-PCI-e-N-Wireless-Card-/170732707129?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c0765d39#ht_1376wt_1350
