:idea: If, in fact, the Dell 1505 does work (and it is advertised to work with the Apple Mac Book Pro, Mac mini, and iMac) then how about this...?

 

Dell Wireless 1505 802.11n WLAN PCIe Desktop Card New

 

This includes:

  • 1505 Mini-PCIe card;
  • Mini-PCIe to PCIe adapter;
  • Dell Omni-Directional Antenna;
  • $60 Shipped.

Unless someone has a rock-solid reason why this won't work, I'm putting my order in for two :D

So just to confirm, if i want wifi 802.11n for my hack pro running snow 10.6.2 all i need is an atheros 5008 mini PCIe card (whether it be apple or generic) and then i plug that into a mini PCIe to PCIe adapter (say a wifi one with inbuilt antenna) and it'll work?

 

so i'm thinking:

 

Atheros 5008 mini PCIe wifi card

 

+

 

mini PCIe to PCIe wifi adapter

 

sound about right?

Sounds right, have you tried it? I'm looking for a 5 ghz solution. The Apple cards are $25.00 on eBay these days.
