F5D7011

I found it over on Amazon while looking it up for a friend

$14.79 Shipped

It's airport compatible!!!

Too bad I already bought that driver for the lucent :-/

Oh well, it works I guess

EDITED: wow, that scared me. I did a doubletake and thought I ordered the 10. nope, i got the 11 Thank god I doublechecked. if I got the 10, i would have not have had OS X support. my heart dropped, i got the wrong link. False alarm people!!!

I've had exremely bad luck with cards with this label. The ONLY Belkin cards I've gotten to work before are the F5D7010, rev 1315. They have a yellow and red label.

The F5D7010 (specifically rev 1315, and 1112 IIRC) does have plug-and-play OS X support; my sister's using one in her Pismo right now.

the problem with the 10 is that it's only that SOME of the cards have the chipset it works with. I found out on another website that all these 11 cards work. So I will let you know. If I don't get it to work, oh well... I can use it with a PC, but I have seen several people in the review for that card that said it works with their pismo/powerbook G4/lombard/etc... with 10.2 and higher

Yeah, those "some" are revs 1315 and 1112 of the F5D7010. Not all of the 7010s work, but those (with the red/yellow label) do work flawlessly.

well... guess what:

Bent card upon arrival

On top of that, it's the wrong stupid card! he sent me a F5D7010, not an F5D7011!!

after being agrivated, i calmed down and sent out a rational email. he took a long time to ship it, and then now that I got it, it was wrapped in 3 pieces of paper stuck into a paper envelope with ZERO padding whatsoever. Tha, mailed it out like that. It's amazing how cheap people can be with shipping. This is from a business on Amazon too!!
