cyber_tods Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi all, I have a Sony VAIO VGN-CR140E series laptop and I installed OSX via boot-132. Almost all hardware seems to work fine except of course my wireless which is an Intel 4965AGN wireless. I know that this wireless is still not working in OSX so I decided on giving up and thinking of other alternatives. At first, I though of using a USB wireless but I decided not to because I don't want it dangling around. Ok, I found out that my VAIO is using miniPCIe which makes the Dell wireless 1390 a good candidate for my replacement. What is better than the Dell 1390? Is there a more compatible miniPCIe wireless out there? I'm planning to buy in ebay this coming sunday. I heard that the Dell 1490 is also good. Is there any other hassle free - out of the box working miniPCIe wireless out there? Thanks.

cyber_tods Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Again hi. I researched about issues with Dell wireless products and I found out that there could be possible problems with both 1390 and 1490 in connected to encrypted routers? Does this issue still stands today? Like connected to WPA/WPA2/WEP encrypted routers. Some people reported that they can't even see the routers in the network list. What do you think is the best miniPCIe (works out of the box) that doesnt have problems connecting to encrypted networks. Thanks again.
