For anyone having trouble getting WIFI/Bluetooth working and looking for a PCI-E Adapter

I went through a lot of trouble to get my TP-Link WN881ND working, and was able to get WIFI working with a couple of hex patches for my clover config by /u/TheRacerMaster - and by adding the proper device ID to the corresponding preference list (feel free to message me if you need help getting this working, by the way).

I was able to get wireless working for the card, but could never get IMessage and FaceTime to log in no matter whose guide I tried. I spent hours generating serials, deleting network preference files, etc. and could never get them to work.

That all changed after I bought this card:

WIFI connected to the same network as it did while I had the TP-Link Card. I had no problem pairing my iPhone 5S, a pair of Skullcandy Bluetooth Handphones, and a Mocute 050 controller (although mapping capabilities are not excellent for MacOS - if you're considering purchasing one for gaming or emulation).

What surprised me most was that IMessage and FaceTime worked on the first boot after I swapped the new card in. Made no changes to my config. Logged in without a hiccup! This card rocks! If you are fumbling with any issues getting your card working or with iMessage and FaceTime I'd say you should at least give it a shot.
