Recommendation needed mini-pci wifi card
 
Hello everyone! I'm a little confused going through the HCL so I hope you can help me out. I've got an Intel PRO Wireless 3945 ABG network adapter (mini-pci). As far as I am aware there are no drivers for that yet. What other mini-pci cards can you recommend? I need one which would work on Linux (Ubuntu), Windows and OSx86. I know I can use a wifi dongle but I prefer exchanging my old card anyway since I am having issues with it. Thx in advance! ABH

3945 should be working fine, there are drivers for this particular wi-fi card. I have intel 5100agn which is not supported so i would have to replace it (but still waiting for ati mobility hd 34xx support). As there is driver for your chip you should try it out.

Regards!

The Dell 1490 Mini PCI Express card can be found online for around $12 US

one more question: Is there a difference between the The Dell 1490 Mini PCI Express and the Dell 1390 Mini PCI express? Do both work?

im pretty sure they both do but you may want to do some more research before buying.

I am using the 1390 in my laptop to replace the intel 4965abgn card that doesnt work under osx.

Broadcoms BCM4321 chip is the one to google for. It's used in Mac books.
