Want to install a wireless card in a MDD

hi
i would like to install a wireless card into my powermac G4 MDD.
i bought a an external usb wireless but i could not find a driver for it and had to return it.
what kind of wireless card can i install that will be found by the system or where drivers are easy to get for macs?
also, where does it install, in an available pci(???) slot or somewhere more internal?
the mac is running 10.5.8, i think, im settiung it up for my kids to use
thanks

Hi! Probably depends on whether you are running an "n" network. The old airport card is slow and using a newer pci card that has "n" capability if your router is an "n" router is a lot faster. OWC is a good place to buy Mac stuff and their prices are good also. Though I haven't used one I'd probably try THIS card for its "n" capabilities. I'd probably get a new airport extreme base station but they are about 179 bucks from Apple. Tom

Satellite L10: I want to install a wireless connection - How?

Hi

Like you can see its not a fast connecting Wireless card or something like that.
First of all it would be very interesting to know the detailed name of your unit because I dont know if your notebook has a wireless card or if its possible to upgrade the unit with the miniPCI wireless card.
If your notebook has a wireless card so you should need to enable the wireless antenna. The switch you should find at the unit side. Furthermore choose the wifi with the key combination FN+F8.
Well, now you need a AccesPoint in your neighborhood. If there is a one available so you should see it. Go to network connections. There you should select the wireless network and refresh network list.
But if you dont have a wireless card so you have to upgrade your notebook with the minPCI card, or USB wireless stick or a PCMCIA wireless card
Best regards

Want to install another graphical card on my Satellite A20

Hi there,
I want to install another graphical card on my SA20 - S103.
At the moment it is the standard Trident card that is running.
Is it possible to install a gforce or radeon chip?
If yes, which one would be the best?

Hi Stefan,
Sadly I don't think it will be possible to replace your Trident graphics card with another because it is an integrated design which is using shared RAM. In effect your graphics card has been specifically designed to fit in your notebook and finding a similarly designed card from another manufacturer would be virtually impossible.
Unlike desktop or tower PCs where the graphics card is a separate device which can just be unplugged and replaced, the graphics chip in your notebook is usually integrated into the design in order to save space.
regards,

Installing new wireless card x120e

I know about the silly whitelist'ing of devices, and I've read about hacking the bios, but is there a universally acceptable way to just turn off the whole whitelist'ing completely?
I have a full height Intell 5300 card I want to use, then put a new Broadcomm Crystal HD half height card in the original wireless card positition.
The Intel card doesn't work at all (whitelisted I assume) and I'm not sure if the Broadcomm card will suffer the same fate (arrives tomorrow).
So is there a supported work around to this terrible vendor locking whitelist?

From what I understand, no, there is no easy or sanctioned method of installing your choice of mini pci-e cards. Part of it apparently has to do with EMI validation, and anything outside of what they've tested can't be validated. What this means for your Broadcomm Crystal HD half height card I have no clue, but outside of looking for a tool to roll your own update to remove the whitelist (or just add your cards to it, I don't know), you'll have to risk a hacked update to get what you want.

I want to replace my wireless card with a 5 ghz compatible card.. i have a hp pavillion g7-1220so ?

Anyone know which card i can buy who will work?

Hi:
There are no 5.0 GHz wireless cards that will work in your model.
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02834058/c02834058.pdf
Supported wireless cards with HP part numbers are listed in chapter 3 starting on page 26.
The Realtek and Intel cards listed as dual band cards are not correct. The realtek 8188 card is a single band card, and the Intel 6230 has the wrong part number and no one knows what the right one is. If you order the Intel card you get a single band Intel 1000 card or some other brand single band card.
You can only install one of the cards listed in the manual and it must have the HP part number on it or it will not work.

Trouble Installing PC60G Wireless Card

Hi,
I recently bought I PC60G Wireless card and am trying to install it on a windows XP 32 bit machine. I can't even get the operating system to recognize it's a wireless card, it seems to recognize it as a SCSI/RAID controller. I tried switching PCI sockets, but to no avail. I know the PCI sockets are working. If anyone out there can help, please do.
Thanks

Can i install a wireless card in my Satellite P30-141 's wireless bay?

The P30-141 doesn't come with wireless functionality and i can't track any wireless antennae cables which should reside within the top casing of the machine, but i'd like to know if it's possible to undertake my own installation of a toshiba wireless card? Would anyone out there know of a specific wireless card model / part number which could be used to do this? I'm quiet happy to tinker around inside the machine as it's four years past the warranty i believe and i've already replaced the LCD once, so i'm pretty familiar with the guts of it, just can't find any documentation on getting this component into this particular machine.
Any advice would be a great help!

Hi Simon,
Sure if you have the relevant PC slot inside, i'm checking a P30 - 131 (which i can't even find in the db here, think its foreign spec but a uk board) for one after telling my client it was easy. If you peek under the keyboard you can see a wire trench running from where the screen cable comes in to the main body. If its empty you need to fit the antenna cable, if present awesome just put in the relevant wireless card and clip on the antenna plugs. If the wires aren't present, simples.
They're quite cheap on everyones favourite auction site, you just need to get in under the screen bezel/surround and lay them down. They lay around the screen itself under the bezel. You'll find simple pictorials not necessarily for your specific laptop but they are mostly the same. Then bnring them through and lay them through the trench under the keyboard and clip into the wireless card. Well obviously you now have to set up the relevant drivers, curse a few times as it doesn't connect, wonder furiously at what is going wrong and then bing it'll suddenly connect although you've done nothing different over the past couple of days.......... The biggest issue you'll find is not to damage your bezel.
Anyway good luck, i'm gonna now try to work out if this model (see above) will do this.

Equium L10-273 - installing internal wireless card

Hi all
I have been attempting to install an internal wireless network card on the above laptop, which we have acquired 2nd hand.
There is a slot to take the card, which has gone in, but I can't seem to locate cables to attach to it.
Any technical bright sparks around who can possibly help me with this? Or perhaps explain why I can't find the cables - surely there wouldn't be a slot to take a card if there weren't cables to connect it?
Grateful for any help!
Many thanks

yes, there are some versions of l10 which dont have wireless cables attached to them.
I have noticed that all new lcd back covers (black cover with toshiba logo) do have cables attached to them.
If you want to take the laptop apart yourself then it is possible to get wireless on this if you can obtain a back cover with wireless cables on it.

Installing a wireless card

What do I need to allow wireless connection to my router?
Many thanks and sorry for being a noob!!!

Your router has to be a wireless router and you would need an Airport nic card.
I have a Dlink router hooked up to my Linux/Winxp tower(cable net) and I bought my mini with the airport extreme nic. The mini connected without any issues.

How do i install the Wireless card driver?

i have tried installing by using the Mac OS X Install dvd, but that always gives me a message that a restart is pending. Also, i checked the device manager and it says that the driver for the Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 11) is not installed properly, so any idea how to fix that too? (it's for the audio)

3rd party PCI Wireless cards

OK, so I've decided to finally install broadband at home.
I've had an Airport Express (AE) for several months to use when traveling, etc.
I have a PowerBook with an Airport Extreme card in it and I use its wireless capability all the time.
My older G4 tower (Digital Audio) does NOT have a wireless card.
I want to install a wireless card in the G4 tower, since I suspect that will be the easiest way to get both of my computers online. I know I could buy a wired router instead, but...
Anyways, my G4 tower would need the old original Airport card, which costs way more than the new Airport Extreme cards. So then, like my title says...
Are there any known issues with using a 3rd party PCI Wireless card?
For instance, Belkin's F5D7001.
I thought I saw somewhere that Belkin supports OS X, but some people had problems in Tiger. Others may have had problems with various wireless encryption methods.
Am I better off just biting the bullet and finding an old Airport card for $100?
Sorry if this topic has been covered, I tried a search but didn't get much info on this particular topic.
I am running Panther on both my machines.
Thanks, folks!

I am using a Belkin F5D7000 in a AGP G4 Tower. The chipset is by Ralink. Free OS X version drivers are available here:
http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm
While not as elegant as Airport software, of course, the driver and card work excellent.
If you can find a wireless PCI card using the original Broadcom chip sets, just like the Airport card, then it will be recognized as an Airport card and use the Apple software. These are hard to find now however.
Here is an excellent article on what you are trying to do:

How To Install mini-pci wireless card in 1955-S805 ?

I'm trying to install a new mini-pci wireless card in my Satellite 1955-S805. I was able to pry off the black shiny strip above the keyboard, and unscrew the two screws holding down the keyboard. But under the keyboard is a silver metal plate. There doesn't appear to be a way to get past that. Everything I've read seems to say that the mini-pci card goes under the keyboard.
Does anyone know how to install a mini-pci card in these 1955-S805 notebooks? Or does anyone have a tech manual on this model?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat
I am not sure but you have an US model. I have 1900-703 notebook. It is a European model and I had no problem to install mini-pci wireless card.
Your unit has also wireless keyboard. Am I right?
If you want to built in wireless card you must remove the keyboard from notebook using keyboard releases on the left and right side of your unit. After that you can see small cover on the place of keyboard and this cover is fixed with one screw. Under this small cover there is wireless card slot.
