Ah - I KNEW it was too good to be true... I didn't mention it in my initial note, but I was planning on using these cards in an iBook and, eventually, an iMac.
Clark, thanks for the info. I'll pay the extra $30 bucks and get the Airport card. Regards, Brian The airport card is designed to fit internally and connect via cables to built in antennas on those models that support it. The one I installed was on a Pismo and there wasn't enough room inside for the built in antenna most have. I expect this would be true for most laptops and probably also the iMac. The case would block a lot of the signal from an internally mounted card. While there are third party cards with external antenna connections these are probably more expensive than an Airport card. Bottom line is bite the bullet and buy the Airport card. You can still use the SMC base station. Clark Martin -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
