This card has three lights, Pwr, AT, LNK. When I say it is marked "For Macs
and PCs," I mean that the label states it just that way. When it is plugged
in to the Wallstreet, all the lights on the card behave in what one assumes
is the normal manner, and the card appears on the desktop. The driver that I
loaded from SourceForge Opens, but the button that I need to check is grayed
out. Airport says that no card is installed. I still think it is just
something I am not doing right, not a bad card, but I could be wrong.
