USB adaptor for mac
 
Anyone know of any cheap wireless adaptors for mac, just returned to NTL and looking to set up a wireless network again, one of the computers is an Apple laptop with no wireless built in, running OSX i think, everything I have looked at seems to be windows only. Anyone know if such a thing exists, or unofficial drivers even?

have a look at the range of products on the apple website-

http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObje...irportwireless

If your lappy is airport enabled then the airport card is the best way to go- unclip the keyboard and it will be obvious how it is installed.

If not then that page above shows the PC card or USB options available- I wouldn't recommend buying non-apple items from the apple store, because you can find them cheaper elsewhere, but at least it will give you an idea of what is definately compatible :)

Cool, cheers looks like that belkin one is the best bet, despite my dislike for belkin! I'll check with my mate but i don't think he'll fancy spending out on the airport card. BTW Rather confusingly the Apple store says that belkin adaptor is windows only lol, amazon says its compatable and users seem to agree although the driver is a download not on CD

Anyone know of any other choices?
