[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 88175, member: 6074"] The airport card doesn't plug into the PCMCIA slot. You have to install it internally, on my 12" PB, you have to remove the battery, and there's a little slot to slide the Airport Card and plug in the Antenna. I've never heard of it working in the PCMCIA slot, but if the OS recognizes it and you get no signal, it's because the antenna is not plugged in to it, and in which case I would remove the card ASAP because you're transmitting without an antenna, even though the card puts out minimal wattage, you're still damaging a transmitter with no antenna, even slightly. Again, plug it in the correct port, and attach the antenna. Once it's plugged in correct, all you have to do is setup for DHCP in the Network portion of System Preferences. Click the "Airport Bars" on the title bar of the finder to select your SSID. Let me know how it works. [/QUOTE]
