cyber_tods Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi all, I'm planning to buy a wireless card for my laptop. I'm down to 3 wireless cards and I need your opinion. What can you say about the Atheros AR5BXB6 that was pulled out from a real mac? Will it work with my Sony laptop that has Leopard 10.5.6? Will it also work with Windows XP/Vista/7 or Linux? Can it login to WPA/WPA2 encryption? I know that the Dells already work but I just want to be sure that it can connect to WPA/WPA2 encryption. What do you think I should pick? Thank you. EDIT: I also found out that there is a version of AR5BXB6 that came from IBM and Toshiba laptops. Is that more compatible in hackintosh that the one from a real mac?

Sorry, but i wanted to brush the dust off this post because i just bought the AR5BXB6 and i'm waiting for it to turn up... And why would a card from a regular laptop be more compatible than one from a real mac....? And did you buy this card? Thanks, Spike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
