Hi.

So I dropped my MacBook Pro down the stairs (with my 12.9" iPad Pro), and I don't have the money to replace them right now.

I need to continue my iOS App development, so I tried to pull out my old Late 2008 MacBook Air, but I can't install Xcode 9 et al on it.

I found this site:

http://dosdude1.com/sierrapatch.html

Which allows me to get it on it (yay!) however it disables my WiFi Card.

I have the dongle, but it's a pain in the ***, so I read on this amazing guy's site that it's possible to replace the A1237 and A1304 WiFi Card with a different Airport card that is supported by High Sierra and fits in the Late 2008 MacBook Air.

I've spent the last 90 mins looking, googling and trying to find which card this could be - could someone please help?

Thanks!
