Can the A1181 AirPort Extreme card be replaced with a 3rd party card?
I'm using my A1181 MacBook4,1 to run Linux and have found that the performance of the built-in AirPort Extreme card, which uses a Broadcom chipset, is not that great under Linux. Speeds are limited to 802.11g level (56 megabit) due to the available driver support.
Since the AirPort card in this MacBook is removable, I'm wondering if it can be replaced with a 3rd party card which would have better support under Linux, such as an Intel card. The existing AirPort card and slot appear to be Mini PCIe, so I'm wondering if I could swap in any Mini PCIe wifi card that had Linux driver support?
