working mini-pcie wlan card?
hi
i currently have a notebook with an Intel 5100 mini-pcie wifi card - which is not supported by Os X and won't be the next time. so i want to buy a new one (internal, and throw the old one away - so i don't want to buy any usb stuff). So here's the question i need one that works under Win 7 also and that has Draft N. Are there any not too expensive ones around?? thanks in advance |
I have the Dell 1490a/b/g card (not n) as a recommendation from a friend ;) and it works wonderfully, native airport OOTB. Dunno about n cards, but you could try the Dell 1510 i think or something similar from that range, mind you that Broadcom chipsets are most compatible with OSX, i think :)

thanks for that nfo.
but my problem is that i have a Lenovo Thinkpad sl300 and there are some BIOS restrictions so that i can't use any chip. So does anybody know where to get one which would be compatible?? |
There are ways around the BIOS restrictions, I got a Dell card to work on my HP laptop (it took some work).
