Hello All, I have a request. Listers who have Powerbook's which were not made for Apple's built in Airport card, how about sending me information on the wireless PC card you use.
I want to build a list of cards that are copies or clones of the Lucent/Agree/Orinoco/Proxim cards that will work in older Mac's. I want to be able to identify compatability by FCC ID number, and eliminate guesswork when trying to purchase a new or used card. If someone knows of such a list, or already has one, please point me to it. Please follow the format of the Diamond card I listed below. Be sure to include the FCC ID # off the card and what software you use (OS and software to control the card). With the FCC ID #, I can look up the card manufacturer and fill in missing information. FCC id look up page: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ It's possible that cards with different names, sold in different markets, or private branded cards, will have the same FCC ID # and thus be supported by the Airport or Orinoco software. Please send all PC card information to me direct. In about 30-60 days I hope to have a list of compatible cards for use on older Macs.
