Don't know where and how much, but would recommend a genuine Apple AirPort card, since you're mentioning 10.2. I was using a Wallstreet when OS X did come out last year so I had to use a non-Apple card with the free wireless driver that someone finally put out. Well, almost every time that OS X had an update, the author had to update the driver and I was out of AirPort until the new driver version was available. So, I don't think that the saving you would do if buying a non-Apple card is worth the trouble. With a genuine AirPort card, you're virtually sure that your card will still work if OS X is updated. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin <http://members.cox.net/nemesys> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] flat adj.: 1.
