What you need is a Mini PCIe Card - get one with BCM4311 Chipset they work without any drivers as an Airport card.
It doesn't need to be a Dell - there might be cheaper ones. ![]() AMD Phenom II X4 955 - ASRock AM3A770DE - 8GB DDR3-1333 - Radeon HD 5570 1GB passiv - BCM4318 802.11b/g - Snow Leopard Retail

hello imkantus, glad you answered
![]() I thought that Broadcom4321 chip that is in the Dell1505 works native with OSX? if not, which cards do you recomend? I have narrowed down my choice to Dell1505n, Asus WL-270N, Gigabyte with Atheros AR5008 and i cant find anything with the chip you mentioned Broadcom4311, although its reported that the HP6910P has a wifi card with that chip...Do you have any links of wifi cards with BCM4311 that i can check? thanks in advance, cheers MSI P5Q / C2D E8400 @ 3.0 Ghz / 8GB DDR2 800Mhz / PCIe ECS 9600GT 1Gb / ALC1200 / Windows 7 / OS X 10.8 ASUS K50IN (SX004L) / C2D T6400 @ 2.0 Ghz / 4GB DDR2 800Mhz / nVidia G102M 512Mb / 15.6" HD/LED / ALC662 / Dell 1490 802.11g / Windows 7 / OS X 10.8 |

Hello Imkantus, thanks for the answer. I hail from Macedonia and those kinds of miniPCe wifi cards are rare here. I saw couple of them on ebay.de for around 20 euro, and on ebay.com around 10-15 USD, they`re quite cheap but i dont know if they ship to my country

Well you just need to look for items marked as "Ships to: Worldwide" and check the shipping costs.
![]() But you should also check the situation on import taxes - as your country isn't part of the EU, (yet ?) - I don't know if that might gonna be a problem or not. Quote:

Yeah, it looks like you have been missinformed it took me some research, but the Dell 1505 isn't using a Broadcom chip, like earlier Dell cards did - it's Intel Pro/W 4965

No. It just says "Manufactured in China".
