Wireless PCI card for MDD 867?

D. Keeping · Feb 1st, 2005, 01:41 PM

Does anyone know of a Wireless PCI card that will work in a MDD 867 G4. I could put a old aircard in but I would like something faster. I have a D-link wireless router which I am very happy with.

As above.. I recommend that one..

P.S. Other PCI ones will work also, but you it's more a guess and test... I've heard of Linksys cards working...

I've been using a Belkin a 802.11g one. It's about half the price of the sonnet card and works fine. The only caveat is that you need to be using 10.2.6 or above.

You can find the card on the belkin website (http://www.belkin.com) in the Wireless section (in the 802.11g Wireless subsection). They actually have two different cards there, one near the top, the other near the bottom of the list. One of them is a bit more exspensive than the other because it's faster, but only if you have a belkin router.

Belkin F5D7001 at the USA website

Belkin F5D7000 at Tigerdirect.ca

Personally I'd buy the Sonnet, Mainly because it says that it supports Mac.

I use the Aria Extreme card in my B&W tower. I tried 3 or 4 cheaper wireless options and none of them worked. The Aria works exactly as an Airport card does, plug and play. I also like the fact that I can attach an external antenna to boost the signal, something you can't do with a airport card.

I read somewhere you could use a MS card.
I do not know the model though!

There are a number of non-apple cards that will be recognized and function as an apple card!

I've tried some 3rd party wireless drivers for mac, and they are garbage.
