The Broadcom cards which are sold for use in Dell laptops are indeed Mini-PCI cards. For use in a desktop Mac, you would also use a Mini-PCI-to-PCI adapter card, one which also included an R-RMC connector and cable, and an R-SMC antenna. All of the required components can be obtained from eBay sellers for about $10. The correct Broadcom card is a 4318, and the description says it works in Dell and other laptops EXCEPT for IBM laptops. (Perhaps IBM laptops of that vintage were already using PCI-e or Mini-PCI-e cards which Broadcom also makes and some of which may be used in certain desktop and netbook Hacks). -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
