Yes, some wireless cards, like Orinoco, that are "Airport compatible" under Classic are not Airport compatible under OSX. When a friend obtained an OSX 10.2 Wallstreet awhile ago, it would not use my Lucent Orinoco wifi card as an Airport card, like my 9.2 Wallstreet could. Also, some cards that are Airport'able under OSX are not under Classic (most recently I discovered that the Sony/Ericsson GPRS card is one of these). Any card with the Broadcom chipset (SOME of the cards/adapters by Belkin, Buffalo [what my friend now uses in his 10.2 WS], Linksys, Sonnet, among others) will be seen as an Airport card in OSX 10.2 and up. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Ivy F., AL "Roll Tide!"
