[QUOTE="wrightm, post: 838256, member: 10753"] [b]mac info[/b] Hey there.... thx so much for helping out.... Checked out the "more info" and it says that there is "no information found" for the airport card.... the netgear USB wireless adapter is model WG111v2 mac info.... osx 10.4 867 MHZ powerPC G4 2MB L3 Cache 1.5GB SDRAM my powerbook has a little wireless icon up at the top of the screen that detects networks....the powerpc does not have anything like that. It's an older computer for sure and I rarely used it (never used for internet but older photo editing) but I think it would be the perfect "internet only" type computer so I picked up the netgear USB wireless adaptor for $20 online and figured it would be a cheap way to get the desktop connected. It sounded way too easy to simply have to plug in this usb drive (download&install software) and then get connected. I'm used to the old days of buying modems - internal/external and all these wires and such. A simple USB device seems much too easy. Do I need to buy/install any additional Mac cards to make this USB useable? [/QUOTE]
