semipro Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Please advise which wifi pci card is the best for my desktop hackintosh and has: - wireless n support - works out of the box (if possible without any additional kexts) - 32 & 64 bit support I have been browsing the forums and so far I have only found this (but it has only g speed and is a USB stick: TP-Link TL-WN321G that reportedly supports 64 bit natively). Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/228763-which-pci-card-for-32-64-bit-under-1064-vanilla/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I heard that ASUS WL-138G V2 PCI card works fine on snow leo (32/64 bit). Eventually you can buy a PCI-e to Mini PCI-e adapter and buy some laptop card which is compatibile with OSX eg. Broadcom 4311 or original AirPort Apple card.

semipro Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Thanks for the advice, but the ASUS WL-138G V2 is not N compatible... Also it seems hard to find this card nowadays, at least where I am from... Anyone else got something?

rbilsbor Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I have an Edimax EW-7711UAn Wi-Fi adapter and it works without any hacks if you get the latest drivers -- it's N, but it's also USB, and the Ralink utility has to always be running in the background. It's a bit janky and is always consuming 15-20% of CPU (well, of one core), so I'm looking to return it for a PCI card. Therefore, I'm wondering the exact same thing as you... anyone?

semipro Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 As you can see in my signature, I went and bought the very cheap PCI-e TPlink WN781N - only works for b + g networks so far, but native airport with kext install - see here for instructions: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1545678 Works nicely. I did not want to have any ralink driver in the background and the PCI-E to MINI Adapter with a original compatible card like in the Macbook series, is pretty expensive and I did not need to have N anyway on my WIFI. But if you have N at work or you use your hackintosh in a N network this one is not for you.
