| Ok so I'm trying to install Panther and let's just say it is most certainly not easy!! I think I figured it out, with the help of XPostFacto, so I should be able to get it going tomorrow. (Hopefully) Bob, you probably won't believe this but I actually thought about that today through all my frustration with Panther! If this all fails, I'm definitely going that route... it just sure would have been nice to use one of these PCMCIA cards that I already have... Thanks for all your help guys... if anyone else has any input, please feel free to share! I'll be checking back often...   |

| It crashed in the jaguar setup... I didn't try it with the panther setup... I got a copy here at work so I'm going to put it on anyway, and then try it. I'm just getting it started now so we'll see! |

| My Pismo Powerbook G3 works perfectly with the Belkin wireless G PCMCIA card. I'm running OS X 10.3.7. I don't have the one with the Broadcom chipset, it's the newer RaLink model. Airport software dosen't see it, but I downloaded the cardbus driver from the Ralink website and it worked instantly after reboot. Nice and Fast and only $25 shipped from Ebay. |

| Success!!! Apparently the ROM update for the cardbus in 10.3 works like a charm... not only did it not crash, but with Orangeware's atheros driver my Linksys WPC55AG works like a charm! Well... it worked off the bat... we'll see how it performs over time.... Thanks again for all your help guys... - Josh |

| You can get the latest drivers that do work on Mac OS X 10.4.7 Tiger at http://www.factman.com/USB_Wireless_Installer.dmg This driver came today 7/20/06 direct from the Ralink engineer, and it for sure works. Further, if you are looking for the longest range wifi connection for your mac, go with the usb antenna/Ralink card combo (there are different sizes antennas, but same 802.11g card from this guy in Canada found at: http://stores.ebay.com/Wireless-Online-Depot I'm bought the 4 inch square usb version for under $100 (28dbm) and the larger 14 x 15 inch version (38dbm) at about $120. My new MacBook Pro has the smaller Expresscard/34 slot, which is useless for wifi, since there are no cards available yet. The above Superpass antenna/cards (http://www.superpass.com/Superusb.html) are definitely the way to go for Mac. They are convenient, portable, and have the high output usb radio card built inside the antenna box. Neat! |
