mtotho Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 is there a wireless solution for desktops that allow the wireless device to be shown as airport, and not use some third party device? ... Without using a converter to fit a laptop card in a desktop. Also, i have a macbook.. and a powerbook g4 wireless cards laying around, is there anyway to convert them to either desktop or laptop pc? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93149-wireless-desktop-solutions-that-show-up-as-airport/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 That's weird, AFAIK Zydas is used only in USB adapters ( http://zydas.rapla.net/ ) and no Airport drivers (Atheros or Broadcom) could recognize USB adapters. Could you take shots of your System Profiler and Network Pane? Anyway, on topic: here is a list of Broadcom cards, the PCI ones works as Airport and don't need adapter like PCMCIA. http://broadcom.rapla.net/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93149-wireless-desktop-solutions-that-show-up-as-airport/#findComment-708958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
