Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / November 2006USB wifi adapter
Is there a USB wireless adapter that can be used in a Pismo? I have done some searching and cannot find one. > Is there a USB wireless adapter that can be used in a Pismo Yes, but if you're lucky enough to have a Pismo you can use a PC Card wireless adapter, and that is a much better solution. m.

The DLink DWL 122 works on my Pismo (OS X 10.2 -10.4). It's 802.11b, not g, so it's not too fast, but it does the job. The last version of the driver (1.4.6 I think) is the best, but it's not on the CD, so you need to hunt around for it on the web. The various 802.11g PC cards that work with a Pismo will give you a lot faster connection. For more money, of course. > > > Is there a USB wireless adapter that can be used in a Pismo > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > The various 802.11g PC cards that work with a Pismo will give you a lot > faster connection. For more money, of course. Is there a card that will work with both 9.2.2 and 10.xxx? At this time I think a dual purpose card would be best for me (if one is available). > Is there a card that will work with both 9.2.2 and 10.xxx?

The Airport card is pretty pricey, especially since it's 802.11b. Low End Mac has the specs, and their advertisers are companies that sell Mac parts. http://www.lowendmac.com/pb2/pismo.shtml > Is there a card that will work with both 9.2.2 and 10.xxx?

It is an 802.11b card with drivers for both OS 9 and OS X. I have one purchased at an Apple Store, that works with my Wallstreet PB G3. I don't know if Asante cards are still available, but you may find one used. There are some older Lucent Orinoco 802.11b cards (gold and silver) that appear to be Apple Airport cards under OS 9, but require a driver for OS X. I have one of the silver cards. It works under OS X with the Sourceforge driver. Other cards may work if you can find drivers. One source of drivers is Ioxperts (www.ioxperts.com). Another is OrangeWare (www.orangeware.com). You might contact either for recommended cards that are currently available. Fred > > Is there a card that will work with both 9.2.2 and 10.xxx?

After further review of my intended use, I ordered an original Airport card. no because your is not understen |
