- From that dmesg output, I'm not sure. Is the switch turned on? (below
the palm rest)

Are you sure it's the card? If it's just the card that needs
replacing, they are easy and cheap to find (and easy to install). The
Atheros AR5B95 can be picked up online or about $8-10 US (or 5-6 EUR,
or 3-4 GBP).

Follow this tutorial up to where it says " You should now have this:"
after it showed removing the palm rest. Change the wifi, then put it
back together.
