Hi,
I want to replace my 4965AGN wireless miniPCI-e from my laptop with a more compatible, out of the box working cards. I'm so thorn that I don't know what to buy anymore. I understand that there are a lot of compatible cards out there but I see some people still having problems. Can anyone help me choose the best card. These are the things that the card should handle:
1) Be able to boot in Linux, Windows, OS X.
2) Detected as Native Airport out of the box when installed in OS X. 3rd party Airport detection is also acceptable.
3) Should support basic router encryption like WEP, WPA, WPA2. I would prefer WPA2 because that is the one I use.
4) Will be supported in Snow Leopard.
I'm thorn with these miniPCI-e cards:
Dell 1390
Dell 1490
Apple Airport Extreme AR5BXB6 - Pulled from a real macbook. - I am leaning over this card bec of obvious reasons that it was pulled from a real mac, but I'm afraid that it will not work with Windows or Linux. Will it?
I need it to be cheap that is why these are the only options I have. I don't need wireless N. B/G is enough for me as long as it can connect to WPA2 encryption.
Thank you very much.
