Full Version: WiFi Cards That Work Fully

I have been happily running a MacIntel for the past month now, and I just entered a situation where I'm going to need to use it wirelessly. Are there presently any non-apple wireless cards that work natively that support WPA-PSK? What is the easiest card (or usb) to setup on a MacIntel? Third party drivers are okay if there are no other options. Any suggestions/discussion would be highly appreciated!

I've ordered a Dell Truemobile 1450 that should arrive tomorrow or Saturday. I'll post my experience with it once I get it, but from what I've heard, you just have to edit a kext so that your device id is recognized and you're good to go.
..::gee::..
i bought THIS and i'm working in wpa-psk mode without any problems. it's shown as airport extreme. the only thing i had to do was copying the io-(something about family ;-) ) from my 10.4.5 install dvd, but there's already a thread dealing with atheros wlan-cards. there you'll find what you need to get it working. that's it, i'm online :-D...

so long, gee


btw: i'm working on a samsung x20 notebook with 10.4.5 running on it, if it's important for someone out there!

I'd be interested to know too...

Can't get my D-Link DWL-G132 to work (it's an atheros usb adapter)...So i'm considering getting a new one (even though I bought this one like a month ago..silly me)...

but I would like a safe bet here LOL

Nice, any idea what version/revision it is?

From the HCL on the wiki I can see that the following G520 works:
DWL-G520+ Rev A3
DWL-G520+ Rev C

Can you confirm which revision yours is? (might be difficult since it's a PCI...? perhaps it's written on the box)

Has anyone had success with DWL-G520+ Rev B2?
