WIreless Card for G5?

Hey guys, I have one of the older Powermac G5's with a dual 2.3 processor running OS 10.3 Panther (I think from 2004). I was looking to get a wireless card that would work in the computer. Any suggestions?

LouisB,
Is your daughter's G5 the one listed in your signature? If so, you can use Apple's Airport Extreme card, or you can go with various USB solutions. The Airport Extreme cards are available here and you may need the antenna if you can't find the original (her G5 would have shipped with both the Airport and Bluetooth antennas, even if the requisite cards weren't inside the computer).

Where can I find a wireless card for my early 2009 Mac Pro (MB871LL/A, MacPro4,1)?

Where on on earth can I purchase a wireless card for my Mac Pro?
Apple is of no help. Their "Geniuses" told me that it is impossible for them sell one to me because Apple will not supply wireless cards or memory for previous generation computers. That is totally absurd. If I want to get a wireless card for my 2 year young computer I can't? I have to buy a brand new computer with one previously installed. Ridiculous!
Any help or suggestions would be of great value to me.

Well I found what I think is the correct card on B&H.
Hopefully it works....

Good wireless cards for older Mac Pros

I have a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz at work that we are trying to get online wirelessly. A couple of months ago, we bought a Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless-N USB Adaptor, which was working fine until a recent update was performed. Since then, the computer crashes almost immediately if the wireless adaptor is plugged in, but runs fine when it is taken out. I am curious if anyone else has run into a similar problem when using a wireless adaptor. I also wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for a different, reliable wireless card for an older Mac Pro.
Thanks in advance.

I have almost the exact same situation.
Same system, a d-link wua 1340 usb wireless adaptor.
Worked fine for several weeks or so until i updated to snow leopard.
Now frequent system crashes, grey screen and the box that tells me to use the power button to shut down.
I tried going back to 10.5 and still the same problem.

Elementary question: need wireless card for old Dell

Hi, all: I need to buy a wireless card for my several-years-old Dell Precision 340 desktop, so that I can network it with my MacBook Pro and printer using AirPort Express. Can buy any old USB network adapter card branded "universal"? Any recommendations? There is no built-in wireless card. Also, I understand that I will have to reconfigure the AirPort somehow to handle both PC and Mac (I spent a long time on the phone with Support getting to work in the first place, just with the Mac notebook).
Thanks for any advice!

Hello jonnofor. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can buy any old USB network adapter card branded "universal"? Any recommendations? There is no built-in wireless card.
Just about any 802.11b/g wireless device will work with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). The AX is capable of up to WPA2 wireless encryption, so if this is important to you, you would want a device that is WPA or WPA2 capable as well. In addition to USB-style, the Precision 340 can also take PCI-cards. For example, Linksys offers both a USB & PCI types.
Also, I understand that I will have to reconfigure the AirPort somehow to handle both PC and Mac
There shouldn't be any required configuration changes necessary for the AX just to support both Macs and PCs. Most issues that come into play relate to using WEP for wireless encryption. You can eliminate this by using WPA or WPA2 instead.

Wireless card for desktop

Do I need to purchase and install a wirless card for my pc inorder to get the airport express to connect?

If you are trying to get wireless connectivity to a wireless router, like the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), then yes, you will need a 802.11g wireless card for your PC.

Wireless card for Pismo 10.3?

Hi all,
Ethernet port died on my trusty 400Mhz Pismo, and already swapped its AirPort card into my newer TiBook, so looking for least expensive alternative to get the Pismo networked again. AirPort cards are available on eBay, but close to $100 . . . .
I'm running 10.3 on the Pismo and have Snow ABS (b).
Anybody with same/similar setup have a PCMCIA wireless card that is currently available/works well/they can recommend? (It would be nice if it worked seamlessly with the AirPort software too.)
Thanks

This was a similar post that I made some time ago. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2804141?
I'm using the MacSense PC card. Any compatible card you get should be plug 'n play in Panther

Changing Wireless card for a GE60

Hi guys, New here and i need your help I have an MSI GE60 laptop and im a big fan of it, my issue is that the Wireless card an Intel Centrino 135 is Pitiful to say the least for my needs (i work with 5ghz alot) so i need to upgrade the card my friend recommended an Intel Centrino 2605 it seem good and offers great speed. but i soon as i swap the card and install the drivers im hit by some sort of software lock which don't let me use it (apparently Intel don;t like you swapping out the cards" so my question is there a way i can get this working because i would hate to lose this laptop due to a small issue like this :( a program i can run, some code i could run anything would be a great help!

MSI does not 'whitelist' anything as far as we are aware. This is included in our FAQ section.
Are you 100% certain that the card is good? Have you tried it in another laptop to ensure it works there?
Yep my friend has a HP Business laptop with the same card and he swapped it and got great speeds from it ive just done a full restore of my laptop and it still seems like its wont work ive ran out of ideas. i tried his wireless card from his Laptop and it was the same error it looks like its installed and ready to rock but theres some sort of barrier stopping it :/

I have an Early '08 Mac Pro running an 8800GT in Slot 1 and a 2600XT in Slot 2.
I got my 2600 for $50 USD and have found it to work very quietly and without fuss. It's 3D performance is a little lacking but I didn't buy it for that.
It installed straight into Slot 2 and requires no additional power cable. I've also the above setup running four 23" Apple Cinema Displays without breaking a sweat.
As for your 7300 predicament, for all intensive purposes, this card does not have an the correct internal ROM required to boot an Early '08 Mac Pro. Whilst I've not tested it, I've no reason to doubt well-informed comments from other members:

PC wireless card for Airport Express?

Hi. I just got myself an Apple Airport Express. It works with my MacBook Pro perfectly. I need to extend it's use to my PC with Windows XP which has all the music. I want to know which internal wireless card with wi-fi 802.11n works best on a PC? Can't find one in India and I'm asking someone to get it for me from the US so need to get it right first time around.
Thanks.

You can use any wireless card which supports either the 802.11b or 802.11g protocols; AirPort Extreme speed requires 802.11g.
Wireless cards that use only 802.11a or the 802.11n draft may not be able to interoperate with the rest of the network.

Recommended PCMCIA wireless cards for Linux 2.4.20?

I am interested in any suggestions for Cisco (or other!) PCMCIA IEEE 802.11b wireless cards that are compatible with Linux 2.4.20, i.e., an upgrade of the Linux kernel is a last option!
The source files for the driver must also be available. It is preferable if the cards are IEEE 802.11g/n ready also, but this is not essential.
Thanks for any replies!

Good luck to you. While it's slowly getting better in the 2.6 kernel line..
I've always just used the win32 driver with the NDIS wrapper in Linux. While it's not my favorite option, it works.
As for driver sources, if you do find an open source wifi driver for a major chipset like Atheros, let us all know.. :)

Recommended wireless card for G3?

I have a Powerbook GS series running OS 10.2 and am looking to buy a wireless card. Any suggestions? I went to the local Mac store and the guy there suggested a card that was about $80. Is this reasonable? Thanks for your help.

Tyanlee,
To make your wireless experience as pleasant as possible, I would suggest this:
1. Download and install the Mac OS X Update Combo 10.2.8:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdatecombo10_28.html
2. Download and install AirPort 3.1.1:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=70176
After installing both updates, you can then buy one of the wireless PC cards below and it will be fully compatible with AirPort software.

http://www.macsense.com/product/broadband/WPE800.html
http://www.buffalotech.com/wireless/products/airstation/WLICBG54A.html
I recommend downloading the standalone updates instead of using your OSX's Software Update. If you have only a slow modem connection, possibly a friend can download them or your local Mac store may burn a CD for you for a few dollars.
If you are running OSX 10.2.0 > 10.2.5, you cannot use AirPort software, but you do have other options. If you are not interested in updating to 10.2.8 (possibly you are already there), please reply.
