Is there a way to do this? If there is can you link a tutorial or something!? * posted via http://www.mymac.ws * please report abuse to http://xinbox.com/mymac > Is there a way to do this? Is there a problem with just disabling the interface?  Signature"Congurutulation!!!" - The subject line on some spam I received last night. I have no idea what it means, but it's such a cool "word" (by which I mean pronouncable sequence of letters) regardless. > Is there a problem with just disabling the interface? I'm guessing he's thinking of using it somewhere else.

Apple is abandoning discrete cards as the method of providing wireless connectivity in new Macs. The AirPort hardware is built in, difficult to remove, and not necessarily re-usable in other models. > Apple is abandoning discrete cards as the method of providing wireless > connectivity in new Macs.

Toughest thing to do would be to remove the antennae, because the connectors are small and easily bent. That said, it can't be used in older Macs that use the first or second generation AirPort cards as it is a totally different form factor. Also, if you remove the card from the Intel iMac, you bust through RF shielding tape. Now your iMac may no longer conform to FCC radio emissions regulations (although I suppose nobody really gives a hoot). |
