Make sure you have ADB installed on your pc and usb debugging enabled on your phone. UNZIP and copy the attached module to your ADB folder. Open an admin command prompt on your pc and change the working directory to the same directory as your ADB server directory.

Do this first to make a GOOD backup of your current driver.

adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko ./bcm4329.ko.old

at this point you should have a bcm4329.ko.old and a bcm4329.ko in your adb directory.
Now type adb shell and hit enter. Enter the below.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Exit adb shell or open another cmd prompt to the same directory as your adb server again.

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

Disable wifi and re-enable. This will load the new driver and you'll have wireless N speeds.
Now for the cosmetic change to match. Open root explorer and go to the /system directory. Mount as r/w and open Build.prop in text editor. Find the line that lists the wifi details (currently will show b/g). Edit that line to show b/g/n and save. Reboot phone.. enjoy!
Thanks, but considering I flash my phone as often as OMJ releases them, it'll be a pain to do this every time.

OMJ, any way of cooking this into your future roms?
