Pismo - $100 - Jump? Hardware 32 posts Jul 8, 2008 — Jul 12, 2008
for Mac OS X, Linksys WPC54G, Revision/Version 3 is the type I have.
Found it on Buy.com for around $40 -- doesn't list it as being OS X compatible -- does it show up as an Airport card or are there special drivers?
In both 10.3 and 10.4, it showed up as an Airport card, and was able to connect to wifi-G networks, use all the cool types of security, etc etc. no special drivers needed.

Also, on the "why X?" topic -- it was discovered this was a lombard, so 10.3 might be your limit without hacking an install disc, or using XPostFacto.

Just bought a CardBus airport card and am bidding on 2 x 256mb sticks of RAM.

As a side note, I very much reccommend the seller "the-la-guy" on ebay -- he has generic PCI/Cardbus airport cards specifically advertised as AirPort compatible. I bought a PCI one for my Sawtooth and it works perfectly -- I also just bought a cardbus version for my Lombard -- I'll let you know how it goes.
