I wanna had some 4g/LTE to my 15inchs MBP (mid 2009)

Hello, i wanna had some 4g/LTE to my 15inchs MBP (mid 2009) i open it and did not found any free pci-e expansion slots.
So my question is: Can i remove my second graphic (The 9600M GT) card and put a 4g pci-e mini card insted or remove AirPort Wifi to put something like http://www.pwsstore.com/m600w-4gwimaxsinglemodepcieminicard.aspx who do the trick for Wifi & 4G ?
But i don't now if compatibles drivers exists.
Do u have any other solution?

Graphics modules are integral to the logic board, you cannot remove and insert a bus instead.

Thanks,

Maybe remove the wifi card so.

After reading the specs of the 4G/WiFi card it looks compatible with OS X

But does she fit insted the original AirPort Wifi Card... I re-open my MBP and mesure the AirPort card tomorow.


Does someone already do something like it and can give me some feedback?

If somone see any reason for this to be unpossible please tell me. (Or just think it's a bad idea)
