So, obviously I'd like ac on my "old" rMBP.

From the tear downs it looks like the card is exactly the same size/shape and has the same number of antenna ports on it.

Has anyone tried swapping them to see if it works correctly?

After a quick google search, people always say it doesn't work, and then point to a blog post done earlier this year swapping in a card from a MBA. Saying the antennas won't do "beam forming" correctly or some crap.

Does anyone know where I could get one of these cards to try it out?
