Mac Toters Push Wireless Bounds http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,55742,00.html <snip> Stuffing an 802.11b card into the TiBook's PCMCIA socket might seem obvious, but "most people haven't tried it," Skolnick said. If they did, they'd find that neither Apple's OS X operating system nor most Wi-Fi cards come with the necessary drivers to make them work together. </snip> <snip> The EnGenius pumps out 200 milliwatts of radio signal, compared with the 30- to 100-milliwatt range of most 802.11b cards, and similarly boosts reception for incoming network packets. Yet it can be found for under $90, compared with up to twice that for better-known brands. </snip> Anyone using that card? It would be nice to have card comparison/reviews in the resources section of nycwireless.
