verdant Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Or even a wireless card which I can put inside the laptop, please guys. My Hackbook is nearly complete There are many options.....the key is to get a wi-fi PCMCIA card (check that your laptop has a PCMCIA or Cardbus slot) that is supported in terms of its chipset such the RealTek RTL8168.....checkout Amazon, EBuyer etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verdant Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I have a Cardbus slot, I just want to know which card will work with OSX? See my post...... ......RTL8168, RTL8111, RTL8169, RTL8101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJV17 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Right, it says I have a ExpressCard slot. Is there still a card I can use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Right, it says I have a ExpressCard slot. Is there still a card I can use? The slot also supports Type 2 Card Bus I believe. You need to check out web sites for different brand wi-fi cards e.g. at eBuyer and then Google to find out what chipset they have........ See http://sourceforge.net/projects/realtekr1000/ for the R1000, which is an opensource driver for network controllers RTL8168, RTL8111, RTL8169, RTL8101 and some others modified for Mac OSX. It is based on Realtek's driver for Linux but is not supported by Realtek. Also see http://www.psystar.com/realtek_r1000_driver.html Psystar have released a modded driver based on R1000 claimed by them to enhance the interrupt handling and link detection for these NICS: RTL8168, RTL8111, RTL8169, RTL8101. If this is the case, get hold of a Realtek chipset based PCI Netwok Card i.e. RTL8168, RTL8111, RTL8169, RTL8101 chipset card....check card specs before buying....depending on the card used it may just work out of the box with the already installed drivers in OS X...
