jmvBMW Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
