Title:

Possible to install 802.11ac card in 2012 MacBook Air

Text:

So at WWDC this year, they announced 802.11ac wireless for the new 2013 MacBook Airs. Is it possible to replace the 802.11g card in my 2012 Macbook Air?

I assume the wireless cards are not off the shelf products so I would have to buy it from a third party manufacturer or parts from a broken 2013 MacBook Air, both of which seem unlikely.

Thanks!
