[HOWTO] Enable Airdrop in your Lion Mac
I saw a cool MacOSXHints' Airdrop Hint today.
So in your unsupported Airport card (has to be N) just open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and put in the code (no sudo required):
Then just hold down the option(alt) key and click on the Dock's Finder icon and choose 'Relaunch'.Code:defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1
Airdrop is ready to use and it works in my 10.7.x 2007 Mac Book Pro with my 2008 Mac Pro, so it works!Mac Pro Dual 2.8 Quad (2nd gen), 14G Ram, Two DVD-RW Drives, OS X 10.8.3
2006 Mac Book Pro 2.16 (first Gen) OS X 10.7.4

32G iPhone 4S Black, iPad (3rd Gen) 32G Black
