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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30988-what-pcmcia-wireless-network-card-works/#findComment-216500 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30988-what-pcmcia-wireless-network-card-works/#findComment-216546 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30988-what-pcmcia-wireless-network-card-works/#findComment-216719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Chang Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Just got me Buffalo AirStation PCMCIA WLI-CB-G54HP working... Not as straight forward as the Linksys thou.
