more specifically, for an acer 3680.

i want a natively working, plug it in and it works, miniPCI wireless card. i saw on the wiki that the Broadcom 4318 works, but just wanted to make sure. im trying to get sleep working, and think the wireless card is messing things up. this card is 10$ on ebay, so its my favorite choice right now.

does anyone have any personal experience with this laptop or card or both? i want to make sure it works and doesnt have any hardware locks on it like some laptops do. ex: you swap in a nonsupported card and the computer wont boot at all, or wont turn the card on.

also, any other suggestions for another card that will work would be appreciated.

please note that i need a miniPCI, not miniPCIe. ive already wasted money getting the wrong type once.

thanks in advance.

Hey guys im could do with knowing the same thing does the 4318 work out of the box under 10.5 ???

since 4318 ships from china or australia i found a 4306 for same price. anyone have any experience with these cards? anything at all?

well, i went ahead and bought the bcm 4306 for 10$. switched back to vanilla kexts and it worked oob, just like it should. i now have no problems putting the laptop into sleep mode, and it wakes up correctly. steamplug i suggest you give this card a try.
