Actually, the first generation AirPort card uses a standard PCMCIA connector, so you could connect one in a Wallstreet. However, since the card expects an external antenna, You wouldn't be able to do much with it in your Wallstreet. The cards that were, at least, in the graphite AirPort Base Station were Lucent Silver card. Apple didn't even remove the sticker on the cards and these had, of course, the external antenna on the card itself as opposed to the Apple AirPort ones... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fortrash /for'trash/ n.: Hackerism for the FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator) language, referring to its primitive design, gross and irregular syntax, limited control constructs, and slippery, exception-filled semantics. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
