Hi Diane, Yes there are actually plenty of PCI and PC Cards that are actually compliant with Airport. The trick is to look for any card that has a Broadcom chipset in it (I use a Motorola WPC1810GV2 PCI card, for example). Airport recognizes these cards quite easily as Airport Extreme compatible, and many do not even need the help of 3rd-party drivers. Some do need drivers, such as IOExpert's 802.11b Driver, found at: http://www.ioxperts.com/products/80211b_X.html The site lists a bunch of compatible cards that have been tested to "known-to-work" with their driver. Once upon a time some site posted a rather large list of PC vendor cards that actually worked with Macs, both Airport-only and 3rd party driver-enabled, but I can't find it straight out. Maybe somebody else can assist; but at least be assured that there is hope, Diane!
