Not quite...

The Airport Extreme is a modified Mini PCI card with a very standard Broadcom chipset; much like many PCI 'Windows' cards, such as the Belkin card in my G4; Since it uses the same Broadcom chip as the Airport Extreme it is treated and recognised as an Airport Extreme card.

I would suggest that maybe Belkin's drivers for the Rev 1 or 2 F5D7000 may work. (the Windows drivers that is)

yeah you need the boot disc, and you can get viruses if you use it for the internet, otherwise no one can access your computer other than going onto it...

right now my pc isn't working... so for now i'll try out the "mac only" theory version, see if that works...
