mroarsome Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hey, I have a Compaq Presario V5000 which uses the Intel 3945ABG Mini Card in it and is not supported in the Hackintosh world as of now. I am looking at swapping it out for another card similar to what is being done with older notebooks and putting a Dell's truemobile 1450 mini-PCI card in. The Dell's truemobile 1450 mini-PCI has native Mac OSX support - I have 2 questions that I need answering please! 1. Is there a similar card to the 1450 but in PCI Express Mini Card profile with native or relatively painless installtion for my hackintosh? 2. Will it actually work? By this I mean, will it always be on, or will the wireless button on the notebook be operational etc I would love to hear from someone that has done something similar. Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can work out, the best NATIVE one is an Apple Airport Extreme card, but if you want something DUAL BOOT like me its back to google hell.

Look on eBay if your looking for a laptop one yeah. i found one on ebay a while back just search pci-e airport. and there's a broadcom one which i bought works on all operating systems and macintosh natively as airport card.
