matthew1111xbx Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi all, I just installed 10.7.2 Lion on my Dell Inspiron 14R N4110. Wireless isn't working of course, with a Dell 1702 Wireless card. I was wondering if anyone knows of a half PCIe card that I can install that will work natively. If not, maybe a USB that will work natively? I'm looking for less than $100, if possible... IMPORTANT NOTE: The card must be a half size! Thanks so much Extra note: I found this, anyone know if it'll work natively with airport on mac? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-1510-PCI-E...id=278758096199 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew1111xbx Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks for your reply I bought the Dell 1510 Half Mini PCI-E card...Hope it works! It should be compatible, I hope. A network card is a network card, is what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noam AA Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 i couldn't find it anywhere also, good luck with it, if it's not working either then try one of those suggested, Also, the card you bought doesn't support N speeds, so take this in mind if you wish for N speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew1111xbx Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Oh it doesn't? "The Wireless 1510 PCI Express® WLAN Half-Height Mini Card from Dell™ is designed as a dual band card supporting 802.11a/g/n" Doesn't that mean n? N=300 mbps correct?
