> non Apple brand (Belkin, Netgear) etc.? Is there any advantage in picking Apple over the others?
I picked up a D-Link Extreme PCI WiFi Card - 803.11g. It has the ability to do 104Mb/sec. The native OS X Wireless drivers do not recognize the card BUT... The 3rd party OrangeWare Wifi Driver works GREAT!!! It works in Managed Mode and Add-Hoc Mode. I tried a D-Link USB 803.11b WiFi adapter with the Mac OS X supported driver (Supplied) and it was a total waste of time. Kernel Panics, poor signal strength. I went on the Net and found out I was one of Hundreds that purchased that crap. I would recommend an Apple AirPort Extreme or AirPort Card if your system has support for it before I used a 3rd Party PCI Card. Sonnet Sells a PCI 11g card to the best of my knowledge. I personally don't like tying up my PCI slot with the wi-fi card. A nother option would be to use a Ethernet to Wifi Game Addapter. I found those units expensive but I would have saved my self a PCI slot. Brian -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
