Airport Installation

I have an old Powerbook 3400 running 9.1.

Is there a way I can get an Airport card to work on it?

When I try to install the drivers it says it won't work with my system.

I know people out there have gotten airport to work on these laptops but I'm not finding any information on it.

Any suggestions?

Dear All,

All you need in your PowerBook 3400 is a PCMCIA slot for the wireless card. As above, I recommend that you use a Farallon SkyLINE 11Mbps PCI card. It comes with all the drivers and it works a treat on Airport 1 basestations. Please note, that if you have Airport 2 base stations and have the 128bit encryption enable, the card will NOT work. You must have 40bit encryption on or off all together.



Hope that this information helps.
