Hello. Like you see in my Sig, I have an Acer Aspire 5715Z, with an Atheros AR5007EG Wireless-Card...Everybody knows that this card doesn't work with Leopard, so I looked for an other Card and found one here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-Airport-Extreme-...1QQcmdZViewItem. I'm a little Noob in this, so I've got two questions:

1) Can I "install" this Card on my Laptop and will it work on Leopard, Vista and Linux?
2) Will my Internet-Speed slow down?

So, many Thanks in Advance.

An apple airport extreme? I don't know, I'm don't think you can plug that into a laptop. but I know if you buy a Dell Truemobile 1390 or 1505 for your laptop it works perfectly and gets detected as airport.

Just find out if your Acer uses mini-pci or mini pci-express...

Link is dead.

After you find a card that will work make sure it will FIT into the space you have. Some miniPCI cards are longer than others.

willy728 has also the same Laptop like me, and he wrote:

"Finally, what to do with WIFI or LAN? My solution, at the moment is to buy an apple mini PCI-e airport (like used in macbook pros), and change with the one is instaled. (four screws at the bottom open a tap, where you can find the mini PCI-e, and also the memory modules)."

Edit: Ebay...all the links doesn't work...I mean this card:

Apple Airport Extreme Wifi Mini PCI-E Card 802.11n 300M

I'm now looking if my laptop has an mini-PCI...
Look here for nfos of my card.

So, now I found Dell W-Lan Cards here and here. Are they Dell Truemobile 1390 and 1505? It looks like that, but it also looks like they won't work on a "Mac" . Sorry that is a bad question, I know, but I want to be 100% shure that it is a working card for my Laptop.

Thanks in Advance.

I've got a new Apple 11n miniPCIe Airport card I would be willing to sell you, make me an offer.

Hi Blue-K

Yes, it works.
Some days ago, I bought one, install it and 'voila', now I have Airport WIFI in my Acer.

I don't know why, the only trouble was with drivers, I need to reinstall OSX to make it work. Perhaps, as I tried many other software fixes, I lost them.

Now, I'm working on LAN and Connexant FAX/Modem drivers. But I'm not very lucky...
