Apple's cards are proprietary. While they may be based upon an otherwise "open" interface, they are not truly "open". > I thought the idea was for 802.11n? To get 802.11 a/b/g/n, a Broadcom 4322/94322 is used. This will also give you AirDrop. The much earlier 4311/94311 is 802.11 b/g only. Also, the mini PCI (but NOT mini PCI-e) 4318/94318 is also 802.11 b/g, only. I seems that for every Broadcom card which Apple has used, whether "open" or proprietary, Dell has used the same card in some of its machines. No foul as Apple has no patents that I am aware of on this kind of networking, yet Broadcom does. Is it any wonder that UCLA's college of engineering and applied math is (now) named for Broadcom's founder, not withstanding the facts that Broadcom is actually located close to UC-Irvine, in another county? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCLA_School_of_Engineering Money and market domination talks. True fact: I worked at the UCLA College of Engineering, as it was called back then, more than a DECADE before Henry Samueli would even enter the institution as an undergraduate student, much less an MS or PhD student, or even a founder of Broadcom. Back then, in 1963 and 1964, we were spending most of our resources on figuring out how to get men to the Moon and back safely, and I can tell you first-hand that those programs were over-subscribed by some of the best hardware and software engineers that this Nation has ever seen, or very likely WILL EVER SEE. Later, also YEARS before Henry Samueli, UCLA would create the first Internet Processor (IP) and send the first e-mail over what we now call the Internet to another institution. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
