Most so-called USB 2.0 WiFi dongles will indeed work on USB 1.1. Check the support list, though, as not all of these will support PPC Macs (but some will). > Alternative is buying a PCI WIFI adapter, but finding ones that are > supported for PPC Macs under 10.4.11 may be difficult? Check the IO80211.kext contents for the list of supported devices under 10.4.11. Now, 10.4.8 was the first Intel supported version, and I do believe that WiFi was supported thereupon, PROVIDED the plug-in's plist had the proper device coded added to it. I am using legacy PCI WiFi adapters from Chinese sources with a Dell Mini-PCI (NOT Mini-PCI-e, but those are available, too). These are supported ... at least on Intel platforms ... as gen-u-wine Airport cards, once the Broadcom plist has been updated. As an aside for those with failed Ethernet ports ... There is a Fast Ethernet (10/100) dongle which utilizes the Kawasaki Logic 9700 chip, and the mini CD which is supplied has drivers for PPC, Intel_32 (i386) and Intel_64 (x86_64) included. -- -- 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.
