dabla Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Hi, Which Wireless PCI network card do you recommend for my Hackintosh? I already have a D-Link DWL-G520+, but as it is based on the Texas Instruments chipset, it seems that it is doomed not to work (and probably never will). So I'm wondering which card I should buy? I've searched the net, and came across sites which sell PowerMac G3/G4/G5 PCI wireless cards which seems to be compatible just like an original Airport Extreme card. Now as my Hackintosh is Intel (x86) based and those macs are PPC based, I'm also wondering if those cards would work on OS x86? Any help or recommendations would be appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64838-which-wireless-pci-network-card-for-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Well there are so many, but basically you wanna look for cards which have the Broadcom 440x chipset (which works very easily). They are quite common. Any of the cards on the wiki that say "Broadcom". (http://wiki.osx86project.org ->HCL 10.4.8) Ralink Cards also work 100%, with the correct drivers, and atheros Ar5005. However, it would seem the Atheros chipset ones are hard to find (correct me if I'm wrong) I'm using the ASUS WL-138G v2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64838-which-wireless-pci-network-card-for-hackintosh/#findComment-459292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabla Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Your card is based on the Marvell 88w8335 "Libertas" chipset. Don't know if there is a driver for this one...

LSD_GPx Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Im using the Netgear wg111 version2 usb dongle (realtek 8187L chip). It works OK with the drivers downloaded from realtek site. I know is not a PCI card but could be an option too.
