I can also attest to the v.4000 Belkin not working on the Mac, but the big issue is that you really have to watch the revision numbers. Of course, the site claims the .5000 works, but tech support denies it. Caleb On Friday, Jan 13, 2006, at 06:08 America/Chicago, Tom and Lisa Peters wrote:

It really depends on the card. As I can attest, the easiest ones are the Broadcom-based cards, because they use Apple's Airport drivers. However, they're all easy to setup, with the right drivers. Pop in, set your wireless settings like you did your wired, and it's ready to go. Caleb On
