Need Help identifying logic board component

Hi all,

My MacBook has the "Wifi:No Hardware Installed" problem which is due to a failed component on the logic board. Please help me identify the parts marked in the attached pictures so I can replace them.

soerenfi, this answer is only to identify your components not to diagnose what shorted those out.

Reference designator C3422 is a 0.1uF 10V 20% capacitor in a 402 package.

Reference designator L3404 is a FERR 120 ohm 1.5A filter in a 0402 package.

Just an update since I noticed I forgot to report back: in December 2015 I replaced the capacitor and filter, which brought the wifi back to life and it's still working today!

I assume someone put in the wifi card connector the wrong way and shortened out these two components originally.
