If that's all you want it for, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to
get
a USB wifi adaptor?


I *enjoy* fixing things. Besides, I can't see a USB wifi adaptor accepting
a compact flash memory card.


If you have to ask what SMD rework gear is, you almost certainly are not
capable of repairing this, even if you can purchase the bare socket.

USB CF reader = 3-4 quid.
USB hub = 2 quid.
USB wireless adaptor - 30 quid.
