Native Aiport cardbus/PCMCIA card for 802.11n

My wife has a Powerbook. For airport we are using a Microsoft (gasp!) MN-720 cardbus card. This has the same Broadcom chipset in it as an Airport Extreme card and is recognized by the Apple Airport drivers as a native airport extreme card. It works great and no third party drivers were needed. I'm interested if anyone has found a cardbus card that uses the same chipset as Apple does for their 802.11n implementation. The object being of course to have the Apple drivers see it as a native extreme N card. I'm aware of the Quickertek nQuicky cardbus card, but that requires their drivers. I'm looking for something that the Apple drivers will recognize as their own. Thanks ... Perry

Hardware differences. Core duos don't have the ability to be upgraded to 802.11n via the software update.

Yes, check out http://firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-2sm2-e/ The PowerBook wouldn't use the same one as a MacBook Pro would... different slots. But they're made for both.

NQuicky card and 802.11n AE

I have a Powerbook with nQuicky PCI card, but I am unable to connect to AE 802.11n network. In the network preferences it says "Cable not plugged in" and also "The cable for PCI ethernet slot PC card is not plugged in".
Installed the latest updated software for Leopard, but still no luck. Anyone with any ideas until their technical supports open on Monday??

Hello,
Just a note to say that I have a Tiger TiBook with nquicky PCMCIA that is working fine. I found the procedure to set it up a bit confusing (quite likely due to my rushing along the way!), but got quick email support from quickertek and have been running fine ever since. I was particularly confused by how to set up a profile and enter the correct type of password.
The suggestion from Tesserax to check the system prefs is a good starting point.
I suggest you send a detailed email to quickertek support. Please post back with your experiences.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement AC adapter for a 802.11n Base Station?

Yes and they don't sell it separately.

Where can I find a PCMCIA card for RS422 Digital I/o?

I have an RS-422 single pulse signal coming to me from an external device. I have a laptop that has software, written by me, that needs to trigger when the RS-422 single pulse signal is received. Is there a PCMCIA card anywhere that can receive the RS-422 pulse and allow me to trigger?
Thanks for your help.

The PCMCIA 485 card is capable of communicating with 422.
Now for the application. A lot of this is going to depend on the timing of the pulse.
What are the exact requirements:
1. How fast do you need to trigger after the pulse?
2. How wide is the pulse and what is the polarity?
Could the pulse be viewed as some type of character or other serial event (maybe a break) and then the driver interrupts on that?
3. What does trigger mean in this case?
Do you need to send some data, sample some DAQ inputs, ...?

WLC recommended version for 802.11n

Hello,
I have to set up a wireless network using 802.11n. I was wondering if the 4.2 version is the best one? Is there any document that tells wich version to use depending on the the configuration we need to set up, for example?

Hello,
Thanks for your replies. I know that I will only be able to manage 1252 with that version, and it is the model of my AP, so it is ok. But I was wondering if I should better use 4.2 or another train of releases. As 802.11n has been released on 9/11, I do not know if 4.2 is the best one.

Flash Air III, how do I set it for 802.11N mode?

To whom it may concern: My Flash Air III is a very fine device. However…. My wireless receiver is setup for Wireless Mode: 802.11g with a rate of 48Mbps. Is there a way to set the Flash Air III to transmit in Wireless Mode: 802.11n? I would like to have a faster data rate.

It's really easy because it's mostly already set up... The AF-On button on the back of the camera already starts and stops AF.
To set up true BBF technique, you turn off the AF function at the shutter button. I believe it's Custom Function IV, 1: Opertaion/Others.... where you make button assignments. Navigate to the shutter button icon and press "set" to enter the options for that... change to the center one "metering start" and press "set" again. Done.
Optionally you can swap the function of the AF-On and "*" (AE Lock) buttons, using the same button assignment tool.

PCMCIA card for motion control

Hi,
I am trying to control a stepper motor through LABVIEW. After perusing through the site, I know that I would need a stepper motor, a corresponding motion controller and a universal motion interface. The problem I have is that I am trying to control the stepper motor through a laptop (which does not have the Parallel Port slot). I am wondering if a PCMCIA card could work (by providing a parallel port to the laptop) or if it would not meet the necessary requirements to operate the motion control through the universal motion interface.
Thanks

It IS possible to drive an UMI interface with a parallel port providing TTL compatible outputs, basically the UMI interfaces are (advanced) break-out boxes feeding the step and direction pulses to a motor driver and connecting feedback signals (encoders, limit switches etc) back to the PC. But in this case, you would have to write your own routines for accelerating and slowing down, as well as evaluating the feedback signals from an encoder or limit switches. There are several manufactures making motor drivers which can be driven via a serial or USB interface, in case you cannot use a NI controller board it will be much easier to use such a setup since the motor drivers usually incorporate at least a basic motor controller providing a set of commands which makes it much easier to control a motor than with doing everything from scratch.

IMAC G5 ethernet port for 802.11n

Does anyone know if you could get the 1GB ethernet port to work with a new 802.11n Airport Extreme unit ? 540MBS sounds pretty interesting.

You have posted a question about your G5 Mac in the G4 iMac forum, so it might be getting overlooked.
You can wire your iMac into the newe AEBS, but the Draft N networking that you are talking about is not available for your Mac. The only Macs that have support for the Draft N standard are the currently shipping Intel units. Even my first gen BlackBook will not support Draft N.
The ethernet ports on the new AEBS are not gigabit ports either, so while your iMac can connect it will be limited to the 100mbps of standard fast ethernet.
Unless Apple comes out with an adapter for us, we will be left out.

Manual Static LAN IP address for 802.11n Base Station when using PPPoE

We have a network of about 75 machines. We want to replace our main router with the new Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. WAN connection is PPPoE so we'd use the NAT function. All IP addresses of our machines on the LAN are statically assigned.
Problem is our machines are assigned to find the router at a specific address: 192.168.0.254. The default base station IP in that subnet is 192.168.0.1. Is there any way to change the IP of the base station to 192.168.0.254 from the default of 192.168.0.1? We can do it if we have it join our existing LAN in bridge mode, but we want it to provide the main NAT functions AND connect to our ISP's PPPoE server WITHOUT having to change all our LAN devices to find it at 192.168.0.1. Possible?

The HH will only show devices which use DHCP in the list of devices, unless you've set the device to use a static IP in the HH Home Network page. It's a bit of a silly idea and IMO the software on the router is terrible, but you do it like this...
- Set the printer to use DHCP to get an IP address.
- Log in to the HomeHub 5 and browse to the Home Network page (http://192.168.1.254/index.cgi?active_page=9130)
- Find the printer in the list of devices and click on it.
- Click on 'Yes' next to the "Always use this IP address" option.
- Set the IP address on the printer statically and update your devices to use the new IP address of the printer (if it changed from what it was before).
That will ensure that the DHCP server in the HH5 doesn't lease the same IP to another device. This will also allow you to see the printer in the list of devices.

G550 Wireless whitelist, which FRU to get for 802.11n upgrade

I have a preconfigured T4300 G550 that came with a 2 antenna 11g WLAN adapter. I want to upgrade to 11n and am aware of the whitelist. But in looking at posts here an elsewhere not all Lenovo device IDs will work in all systems so it's not enough to just get a Lenovo branded card.
Is there a dBase somewhere with contents of whitelists for various models? IOW, where can I find out which FRU I need for this G550 upgrade? Would a 42T0865 (Intel 4965) be suitable (knowing I'll run just 1 Rx)?
TIA

Ok, after doing a bit more searching I found a clue in a completely different forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2136789&tstart=0
Apparently I must have a neighbor with a WiFi router set to a wrong country region (I'm in Brazil), and according to the (foolish, stupid, and all-around knobbish IMSNHO) 802.11d implementation that Apple has chosen to follow in Snow Leopard, it sets its internal card's country region to the region of the first router that broadcasts to it, rather than being smart (like they were in 10.5) and setting it to the country region of the actual router you are connecting to.
I'm using the script that was offered on that page to reboot my Airport interface until it connects using Wireless N. Until then, this is a big AppleFAIL in my book.

Does this cardbus pcmcia card work with my powerbook?

Hi, The shop near my house only has this pcmcia cardbus USB 2 card.
http://www.conceptronic.net/site/desktopdefault.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=200&Cat=30 &grp=3010&ar=0&Prod_ID=755&Prod=CSP480C2&subid=554#
My pbook only has USB 1, and I want USB 2 capability. Would the above work for the powerbook?

I don't see anything in its FAQ or Specs indicating it will or won't. That means it might, then again might not.
This card on the other hand has a known range of Mac OSes it supports:
