PinePhone WIFI: PineCone user installable?
#1
Rainbow 
Hey folks,
I hope you are all healthy and well.
Since the wifi on the pinephone requires non-free drivers (realtek iirc), I obviously would rather wait for the version with the pinecone included.
But since I am impatient and want to start developing apps (and get rid of my android), I am wondering:
can I, once it has reached usability, change the wifi card? I couldn't find out how the wifi card is connected to the mainboard.
I don't have any skill in soldering, so that's out of the question.

Thank you all for your time!
