Whats the model....
iBook G4 ? iBook G3 ? For Powerbook , there is PCMCIA you could go with that , such as Linksys Series , etc For iBooks , etc...Then you would need to buy ASUS WL-167 USB , you could get it from any apple store ! |

oops..forgot to mention the model.
it's iBook G4. How much is the ASUS WL-167? My Ex said she found one (dunno what brand), but priced up to RM500..She's looking for a lower budget one. She's still a student and can't afford that half a thousand price hardware..its not like she's an Anak Dato' 1.. |

RM 350/400 , is Airport Extreme card. Well , if you use that , your iBook will be super duper happy. I have seen few people selling the card for around RM 350-400
ASUS WL-167 on the other hand supports Macs. Yes , I have tried it on the mac [I bought it for RM 195] , but the problem is , Mac detects it as a Ethernet card [Thus you can't run Kismet and all other stuff] . But then it has some disadvantages such as Kernel Panics , etc....WYPIWYG ! |
