"Wi-Fi: No Hardware Installed" error after low-battery sleep, easy fix #460

Hi all, After replacing both Airport card and WiFi antenna, Handoff/Airdrop/etc. work flawlessly, thanks for this awesome patch. Just a note to folks who have done this fix: when my computer slept due to low battery when traveling, it awakened with a "Wi-Fi: No Hardware Installed" message. Tried resetting both PRAM and SMC to no avail, then replaced some hardware. Finally, ran the "csrutil disable" (disable System Integrity) command in Recovery mode in order to reinstall Continuity, and it magically fixed the WiFi. WiFi stayed fixed after re-enabling System Integrity ("csrutil enable"). Just a heads-up for anyone who suddenly encounters this problem and is worried they ruined their hardware!
