Re: Lombard/airport?

[Adam Thayer]

Well, if you are running OS X 10.2.x, I recommend the OWC 
802.11g/802.11b card for 50$. Their stuff is cheap and I haven't had a 
problem with their stuff.

doesn't have an antenna so that's why you can use it only in an
AirPort-ready Macintosh because those have an internal antenna in 
the case.
The other reason is that although the form factors are the same, an 
airport card will not work in a pcmcia slot and vice versa. The 
pinouts are not the same either. I think this is a BIT more important 
than not having an internal antenna. ;)
Hmm.

Supposedly it's only two pins that have been switched... But don't ask 
me which!

Has anyone ever tried installing the internal ORiNOCO/Agere cards in 
the AirPort slot?  Some exist, but I've actually never seen them for 
sale anywhere.  Apple's AirPort card is simply a rebadged WaveLAN 
Silver, anyhow...

Peace,
Drew
