I used this site to find a vendor and chipset: http://ralink.rapla.net I thought it used to have more specific revision information but maybe my mind is playing tricks on me a year later. It should at least help expand your available card search. Does anyone know of any place that sells a ral(4) supported card? Where did everyone get theirs? I use www.newegg.com for anything whenever possible. It's still going to be a minor gamble though. tom -- | tmclaugh at sdf.lonestar.org tmclaugh at FreeBSD.org | | FreeBSD http://www.FreeBSD.org | | BSD#http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:FreeBSD |

Re: Finding a ral(4) cardbus card
Hi, Would anyone else consider that a good indicator? I mean, that would be great if that was the case all around. I got to know the return guy at Best Buy so well, he let me bring my laptop in, and opened boxes to find wireless for them... I open 5 different ones before we had to quit (read: his manager showed up to ask WTF?.) I hope he still works there... MacOS was a BSD base at some point, was it not? Mac support isn't a good indicator but I think the OP was pointing out that for this particular card you need to go find one that says Mac support on the box to get the RAL version. Cheers, A

The MacOS X Kernel is a modified Mach kernel. Much of the non-gui part of OS X was borrowed from either FreeBSD or NetBSD according to who you ask. I don't know about current versions (I'll check my MacBook tonight) but in the first versions of OS X you could go to a bash prompt and go peeking in /etc and find config files that still had Net and/or FreeBSD headers and version dates. I was in a basic OS class at that time and we did a section on MacOS X and I got in (a very little) trouble for cheating because one quiz question asked us to find some network config settings and while everyone else was looking through their GUI, I was pulling the info directly from the config files. The Prof. didn't even know you could get a command prompt on MacOS X and thought I had installed something. He probably would have been right except that I didn't need to, it's built in.

Re: Finding a ral(4) cardbus card
If your laptop supports MiniPCI, go to www.kd85.com Good stuff there... Wim is a well known person on this list, and can be vouched for by many. I bought 3 of the MiniPCI, and they work great...

From personal experience I can vouch that Belkin F5D7010 v.3001 is also a ral(4) card. Interestingly, according to the official Belkin support site, that is also the only version of the card supported under Mac OS 10.3, which gives you a nifty way to confirm compatibility at purchase. Does anyone know of any place that sells a ral(4) supported card? Where did everyone get theirs? I got mine at Circuit City, and these are currently on sale at $34.95.
