Has anyone here successfully upgraded the iMac 12,2 separate Wi-Fi and BT cards to the combo Wi-Fi + BT 4.0 LTE card from a later iMac (2014) using the mini-PCI adapter that does the job for 3,1, 4,1 and 5,1 Mac Pros? I have the card in situ with an extra antenna line wired in and the old BT card removed but have had no success getting Ventura to see it yet. If you have been successful, please post the procedure.
Got a tip for us?
