QuadDragonE Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I currently own an Intel 5100 wifi card which ofc is not support in snow leopard. I would like to purchase an aftermarket one, but the problem is that I can only fit a 'half height' wifi card. It would be great if anyone can give me a model number for a OOB 1/2 height airport card to use in SL and also works in windows 7 too. Thank you PS - I would prefer if the wifi card has n technology and supported OOB without any kexts in SL, I dont mind installing drivers for windows 7 tho.

LatinMcG Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 ar5b91 half size $26.99 or less on ebay 2 listed right now.. selling like hotcakes i guess. but if u search ar5b91 u see a lot of sony's that i dont know if they do work or not TH77H047 ? but sony tends to have a special hotkey switching function that im not sure if it might be part of firmware in it. if shows wireless card icon but no signals= tape pin 20 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274638-advise-on-half-height-airport-card/#findComment-1786346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuadDragonE Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thank you for your reply, are ar5b91 my only option? Like you said, all the half height ar5b91 are from sony machines so may not be 100% compatible (with SL 10.6.6i)?

LatinMcG Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 ar5b91 uses i believe same chip as regular height. and the broadcoms dont. they use a LP which mean Low Power = different firmware interface no good. the ar5b91 from sony should work .. if it doesnt, tape pin 20.. but detecting it should be OOB.
