hi,
just wanted to ask if the APPLE USB-ETHERNET-ADAPTER-FOR-MACBOOK-AIR also would work on my dell xps m1530?
my problem is that at this time there is no wlan or ethernet on leopard available for the xps m1530.

thx

Well, in my Dell laptop I have a Belkin USB-ethernet adaptor working very well.

I think that the Apple adaptor must work better, maybe without additional kext.

Cheers.

I find it hard to believe you can't install a wireless adapter in your dell that is recognized by Mac OS X.

Is not hard to believe that, in my country Dell only sells the Intel card for the Dell XPS Mxx30, you need to lie about your model to get one as replacement with broadcom based cards, but fortunately eBay has several offers, of course not everyone send to all countries.

sunlite, I have both but I prefer the Apple one, the Linksys is already broke (the plastic shell only) because someone pull the ethernet cable, the little door it has is fragile (in my opinion of course)
