PistolPete Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Well as the title said. I am looking to buy a new plug-in newwork card for my laptop, i think PCMCIA is the name... and as i have just recently bought the W-500gp router from asus i would like a network card with afterburner technology. as i am rather new to this OS X thingy i would like the card to run natively i really hope you can help me out. i have looked in several threads, including the "what network cards work" however its really tricky to find out whether or not they have afterburner technology... and btw. thanks for a great forum!!!

zbob Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I run the PCCARD Linksys WPC54GS w/afterburner on my IBM X31 towards my Linksys WRT54GS access point. After getting the PCcard slot to work (use IOPCIfamily 1.8 - the one in 10.4.4), the Linksys card was automatically detected as Airport Extreme. Doesn't seem like I can find out in OSX whether the afterburner feature is enabled, though. best, zbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the afterburner technology really isn't that important in OS X. It is more because i also use XP, and I would like to be able to have full advantage of my network card i both OS X and XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prasys Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well , i heard its possible with the broadcom card. Trust me , apple has enabled it in OSX. I have read it somewhere that an airport update has enabled it. You should go with Linksys WPC54GS...OSX detects it automagically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
