[QUOTE="Elphaba, post: 1794079, member: 399455"] 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: [URL]http://dosdude1.com/sierrapatch.html[/URL] 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. [COLOR=#333333]I already consulted iFixIt - nothing there of any help.[/COLOR] I've spent the last 90 mins looking, googling and trying to find which card this could be - could someone please help? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
