IIRC, I picked up a WLI2-PCI-G54, which can be found here: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/product-detail.php?productid=48&categoryid=7 I have seen others say they used Belkins as well, I'd check the archives. Now, if I could find it, there was a page that listed a lot of WiFi cards, the chipset used, and what drivers are used, if any, under OS 10... *googles a bit* And I just found it. http://home.earthlink.net/~metaphyzx/Wireless.htm Notice, all the cards listed as supported by the Airport software use Broadcom chips, which is the same chip Apple uses in their Airport Extreme cards.
