Aurora Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Greetings all, nice to see my greatest dream fulfilled, x86 driving Mac OS X. Anyway, I've managed to get it running on my Sony Vaio with a Pentium M. Naturally, my Centrino wireless isn't recognized and I've seen the effort underway to get it working. However, I have a spare airport card laying around, and I was wondering that if it would be possible to get it working with OS X on a PC. I've tried plugging it into my PCMCIA slot, with no results, unrecognized, etc. However I thought this might be a problem with my MB chipset drivers, or no PCMCIA drivers from OS X. Any thoughts on this? Thanks... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11533-airport/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

marliwahoo Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I don't think the original apple 802.11b airport card is standard pcmia card. It will not work in a normal pcmcia slot only the apple airport slot. There are pcmcia cards that on a powerpc that are recognized as an "airport" card. I do not know if they will work on a osx86 machine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11533-airport/#findComment-73309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
