If the flaws are in Apple's drivers, why did they need to plug a 3rd party card into the MacBook? What user would ever plug a 3rd party redundant wireless card into their computer?
Presumably, if they could hack Apple's drivers they wouldn't need the other card.
All this video shows is a 3rd party wireless card with crappy drivers.
