My AR5B93 worked out of the box. It's detected as an Airport.

The only remaining issue is getting Sleep working properly. Someone posted a DSDT based on the files I dumped from the laptop, but I haven't had a free moment to test since last week.

Thanks for the info jm77. I am thrilled with the G73 but just have to get a WiFi card still (in between a return/deciding which to get) and I want native non-Voodoo audio but otherwise I love my Hac as much as my MB Pro. Well almost as much....

VoodooHDA (audio) can be a bit flaky at times. Perhaps 3/10 boots, I kernel panic (at boot) due to VoodooHDA.

So where in the heck is a good ALC269 kext?

Just FYI - I based my purchasing decision on the following:

Broadcom BCM94312HMG
Atheros AR5B91
Atheros AR5B93
Broadcom BCM94322HM8L
Atheros AR5BHB92
Atheros AR5BXB61
Atheros AR5BXB92

I don't recall where I found this list, but this is a list of cards that are supposedly detected out of the box as Airport cards (OOB support).
