I have purchased these devices from several ePrey (sic) sellers, not necessarily the ones cited above, and all sell essentially the same respective products. Shop on the basis of total price (item plus shipping), and let that be your guide. There is another style of adapter, and which has no antenna connector nor cable. That is NOT suitable for the recommended application. Also you only need the one antenna, usually indicated as "main" on the card, although the Broadcom 4318 card can support two antennas. Two antennas are appropriate for laptop applications where the antenna is hidden in the laptop's base or display. The designation "Broadcom 4318" essentially guarantees 100 percent Airport Extreme compatibility, without the need for any hacking of the Airport driver. The adapter has an R-SMA antenna connector and a cable which will mate to the microscopic coaxial connector on the Broadcom card. Any antenna with an R-SMA connector will do. Most overseas vendors are selling antennas branded DLink, but those are not the only one which will work. The card and antenna are sensitive enough to connect to a WiFi router which is located several rooms away, perhaps 50'. No need for a larger antenna, in most cases. -- 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.

Works in a laptop in its Mini-PCI slot. Works in a desktop, in its PCI slot (using the adapter). No other option that I am aware of. Some Hacks have PCI-e slots, and the later Broadcom PCI-e card will work in those slots, too.

If you want 100 percent Airport Extreme (802.11b/g) compatibility for the lowest possible cost, then the solution is available on ePrey (sic) for about US$10. First, you need a Mini-PCI (NO, not a Mini-PCI-e) Broadcom WiFi card. These cards are intended for use in Dell and similar laptops. Most of the laptop manufacturers have gone to a Mini-PCI-e WiFi card, which explains the low cost of these cards. Second, you need a Mini-PCI-to-PCI adapter which includes an R-SMA connector and cable. Finally, you need an R-SMA antenna. All of the above can be had for about US$10, total, although probably not all from the same seller.
