Asus K55A WLAN Upgrade

Upgrading the Asus K55A notebook computer WLAN was a frustrating process. I went through 3 different miniPCIe WLAN cards before finally settling on the Intel 7260.HMWWB.R 802.11ac/n/b/g + Bluetooth 4.0 here from embeddedworks.net. Something to note is that the Asus Wireless Switch (Wireless Console3) Utility DOES NOT and will not display the bluetooth icon regardless of whether or not a working bluetooth adapter is installed in the notebook computer.
