Actually the post by Mike Baker also answered my question. His problem was a scenario I'm trying to avoid by going PCI. However the card in question says that it has OS X drivers whereas Mike's problem looks like he doesn't have the driver. Now does Airport Extreme (latest version) play nice with 3rd party wireless adapters (PCI or USB)? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
