8890 Internal Wifi Picture

Hey everyone,
I've recently been fiddling with an idea. I wanted internal wireless for my 8890, and seeing how it's bloody expensive to get it from sager, i figure i'll try doing an aftermarket job.

Considering it's a miniUSB port, I figure one of those dongle type adapters would fit in there, and it shouldn't take more than a bit of stead-handed soldering to get nice pin connections and plug it into (what looks like) the standard internal USB port in there. However, I need some detailed pictures of the existing wifi adapter that sager put in, so that I can see the pinout coloring. Would anyone be so kind as to take a few pictures for me?

Thank you!

the 8890 isn't miniPCI, it's miniUSB. MiniUSB seems to match the dongle-type adapters, so I'll be fiddling with sodering to get a standard usb port to plug into the motherboard.

Could you get a G standard thing working this way then? As far as I know there haven't been any people who have replaced the internal wireless on an 8890 with the G standard.

If there are G dongle-type adapters available, it probably wouldn't much of an issue. I still need the picture to do anything though, so any with an 8890 w/ internal wireless, please PLEASE post a picture!
