Re: Best wireless card for a G5?
We have an Intel G5 and several G4s. The Intel unit and the old eMac both see and use our cable supplied Netgear modem, however the other G4s will only communicate to a Cisco router, one the Canon wireless printer doesn't recognize. It's not a major problem but it would be good to get them all on the same page. Suggestions?

There looks like 4 open ram slots. I found this G5 locally and for only $60, so my upgrade problems are solved for the moment. G5 came with no Airport card or antenna, one of the reasons for the low price. A while back I recall reading a suggestion that it might be better and faster to install a pci wirless card instead of Airport. Anyone have suggestions on a specific card for a good price? This is the card I have in my G5 Dual 2.7 it is seen as an AirPort card and no software required. You may find one a little cheaper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-Wireless-WiFi-Card-Mac-G3-G4-G5-Airport-802-11-b-g-/220603457124?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RLhash=item335cfd9e64 John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA MacPro 2.66 Quad Nehalem -- 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.

Re: MAC Instead of Computer Name in Router Device List?
Can installing a version of netatalk resolve any of the shortcomings -- i.e. does it add any functionality for those on 10.5 or later in regards to speaking to something like a SE30 on Mac OS 7 or OS9?

Is that correct. Yup. 10.5 only supports AFP over TCP; the old network discovery protocols are gone. I don't like it either.
