Wi-Fi "No Hardware Installed" even after replacing wi-fi card
So I've been fighting the wi-fi "no hardware installed" bug for sometime, on my early 2011 15" MBP. I tried replacing the drivers to no avail. Wi-fi is not available when booting to the OS X restore CD, nor at the boot drive selection screen (holding "option" at power on). I still have bluetooth connectivity.
I recently bought a replacement wi-fi card from iFixIt, and that also did not resolve the issue.
The computer is out of warranty.
I've run out of ideas. Does anyone have any advice?
Is dit een goede vraag?

I have been fighting the same battle. I've had my laptop open many times. I did replace the card myself, the problem didn't go away. It is intermittent. I've tried all the wives tales about fixing it - resetting SMC / PRAM, etc., but nothing definitive works. Also deleted my sleepimage and turned off hibernation. I just re-seated the card connector and made sure that it was taped securely to the wifi assembly. The wifi came on again. We'll see how long that lasts.
== Update ==
I should add that I went back to the original wifi card, since it didn't work and for some reason with the new (after-market) card, I lost bluetooth.

У меня была такая-же проблема! Решилась очень просто - заменой шлейфа, соединяющим wi-fi модуль с материнской платой!
