Hi: Yes, the card I used works under Classic Mac, even with Apple's stock Airport software. It even does 128 bit encryption under OS 9.x.x How did I find it? I looked and resea…

What? You found an 11b/11g card that works in OS 9? As far as I know, the Agere/Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco/WhoeverTheyAreToday chipset is 11b only. Apple moved to a Broadcom chipset f…

So, did you get it fixed? If so, what fixed it? Peace, Drew
