According to the specs ( http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ProductID=2215) the Gigabyte supports WPA2. It also works fine in Windows (I'm using VirtualBox/Win XP, but it also works fine in a dual-booted Vista configuration.). I'm fairly sure I tested it with a Live Ubuntu CD when I had to do some data recovery as well.
My only concern with the Apple card, is that it will be used off of ebay. So you wouldn't be able to get (for example) a Square Trade warranty ( www.squaretrade.com/).
I think I got the Gigabyte for around $30. |
Hey thanks man!
I also heard a lot of good things about the gigabyte but its too expensive for me  . I'm really now leaning towards the real macbook miniPCIe card but I just need a confirmation that it will work in Windows and Linux. A bonus would be knowing if WPA2 can be accessed inside osx86.
I heard that the Dell 1390/1490 are having problems with WPA2 encryption inside OSX only. I can confirm that the Dell 1390/1490 can get inside WPA2 encryption inside Windows and Linux. If someone could say that the Dell 1390 can access router encryption in OSX86, its sold! lol.
THanks.
