@Going Bald how does that card you linked to above (amazon) work if it's labeled "half mini pci-e" ? I ordered this and when all my hardware arrived it doesn't appear the mobo has a spot for this (only regular PCI-E)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JY6X9HM/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

correct me if I'm wrong - was that link just incorrect or does this mobo have a mini PCI-E available ?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012N6EW6G/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

I see it has listed

1x PCI-Express 3.0 x16 Slots, 1x PCI-Express 3.0 x8, 1x PCI-Express 3.0 x4, 4x PCI-Express 3.0 x1
 
This is what happens when you hijack someone else's thread - your first post mentioned you were interested in the board mentioned in the OPs first post. The mPCIe card was a recommendation for the mITX board, not an ATX board.

What you need for that -UD5 is a https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RL4A314/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
 
@Going Bald ah, makes sense. What about bluetooth support? from what I read that card is purely a wifi solution correct? I'm looking for something that is out of the box wifi + bluetooth friendly w/ minimal kext hacking :)

also -your help is much appreciated so thank you!
 
@Going Bald this looks perfect! Thanks again for the quick reply! In the product description I see this

`Pefectly fit Hackintosh MAC OS X 10.7 10.8 10.9 10.10 system and no driver software is required. (WIFI and Bluetooth work well)`

Do you happen to know if it works with El Capitan? I'm running the latest 10.11.6 (not worries about Sierra support or anything but I'd like to run this on the latest patched/stable El Capitan if possible)

Again -your help here has great! thank you 100x !!!

This one is also supposed to work - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GRO8JWS/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

You can buy the PCIe adapter only for about $30 and buy an Apple Broadcom card to go on it if you want. That is what I did. I got the 4 antenna version - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0144KJOIA/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 and the Broadcom BCM94360CD card for a Mac and assembled it myself.
