spikeh Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 As far as I can tell, nVidia cards are very well supported in OSx86 so you should be okay; but since I don't own a nVidia card I don't feel qualified to give a definitive answer. You may wish to find out the exact chipset for your wireless adapter and audio adapter, then search for those terms in the forums for answers. This thread has information on all the wireless cards that work under OSx86. I can confirm that my Soundmax Analog Devices AD1981B worked under OSx86, but again you should find out the chipset in yours and check just to make sure. The Marvell Yukon ethernet should work without any problems. Since configurations vary greatly in laptops, the only true way to find what works and what don't is to install it.

bptba93 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 most likely your atheros card will be supported just look around on the forums. If it is the ar5005g there is a whole forum just for it.

SkyZ Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 its the ar5211 all should work except sound. I'm not saying your sound won't work, but you getta specific which chipset it is using.
