Bense Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hey guys, I was looking for an expresscard 34mm to use with my sony vgn-n385e notebook. I have done a little bit of searching and was able to find this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=28463 However this seems a bit outdated and it only points to 54mm cards. Is there anyone that knows anything about these 34mm cards? thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61630-is-there-a-supported-wireless-expresscard-34/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bense Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Doing some more research here: It looks like the only 34mm pcie expresscard {censored} is going to be the new 802.11n cards. Fortunately I just bought a new router and chose to get the 802.11n. If this "upgrade" works I will be happy. Here's the three I've found on newegg: BELKIN F5D8073 N Wireless ExpressCard Adapter - Retail $66.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16839314011 BELKIN F5D8071 N1 Wireless ExpressCard - Retail $89.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16839314007 D-Link DWA-643 Xtreme N Notebook ExpressCard - Retail $99.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16839127004 Hopefully these cards have osx drivers. I'm assuming that If they have osx drivers that I'll be able to get them working. I'll be sure to let you guys know what I found out.

Bense Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/aug07/082407.html#S23221 It sounds like the F5D8071 might be able to work. If native mac osx users have to do this crazy {censored}goose hack to get it to work. I can't wait to add another challenge to it, getting it to work on a computer that mac osx doesn't natively run on. So this means that my dumbass is going to go buy one of these things, get very excited when I get it, plug it up, and still not get it to work in my uphuck 1.4.9 1.4i I guess this is what it means to put the angst in gangsta.

Anawrahta Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Did you get the card and try it out? What chipset does that belkin card use?

Openminded Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have a Belkin N1, model F5D8071 . It does not work, get recognised in Hack and real mac as unsupported: Type: Other Network Controller Driver Installed: No Bus: PCI Slot: PCI Slot 3 Vendor ID: 0x168c Device ID: 0x0024 Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1799 Subsystem ID: 0x8071 Revision ID: 0x0001 Link Width: x1 Link Speed: 2.5 GT/s according to Vendor and Device ID this seems to be an Atheros. Is there some way to mod IO8.... to get it recognised? I also installed the Airport N driver but got no succes. My hack is a Dell Inspiron 9400 and the strange thing is it does not work with original Apple Aiport Extreme, but that seems to be machine specific. Now I use a Dell 130 with Broadcom 4311 which does work.
