Discovering which PCMCIA Wifi card can work on OS X Leopard

driverleopardwifi

I've got an old PowerBook G4. I've installed Mac OS X Leopard on it. Now, i want to buy a PCMCIA wifi card for surfing internet. But I can't understand, which cards are compatible and which not. Information in internet is very old, and I found information only about OS X 10.4. Also, I've read, that all cards,based on broadcom chipset are compatible. For example, does Linksys WPC54G works with my computer?

There is a list of such cards on Low End Mac up to 10.4

But I believe better way would be just to go to ebay for native Airport Extreme if your particular model is aluminum one.

If it is Titanium then CardBus is the way to go since original Airport 802.11b cards are rare, pricier and don't support WPA2.

P.S. And I wouldn't recommend 10.5 on Titanium Powerbook

MacBook – Boot Camp 5 drivers not installing in Windows 8

I know this is 3 months late. But if anyone is still searching, the answer is to use the Boot Camp Assistant to download the drivers. The ones from the Apple Bootcamp website will not work.

If you check out this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

Click on the MacBook Air link at the center of the page and you will see:

MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) and MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013)

need to have drivers downloaded from BootCamp Assistant. So, you will need to boot into your Mac partition and plug in a USB drive and download the drivers.

PS: If the drivers fail to download, make sure your USB stick is attached to the left USB port (the screen facing you). I remember reading it somewhere on Apple's support forum - but cannot find the link at the moment to cite it.

I did this and it worked for me. The Boot Camp drivers installed and I did not get the x64 error message as well.
