I did try to investigate this question, and I found that actually the miniPCI is not standard enough - there are mechanically incompatibles miniPC cards. I actually tried to find a miniPCI Wifi 802/11G Linux/Debian comptabible card for my PowerBook 12" and did not found any. The best advice I got was to go to a supported USB 8021.11G device. (I finally gave up having Wifi un Debian on my PowerBook). This was a few months ago. Mabe things changed, but I am pessimistic. And unfortunately, I believe Apple don't care at all about its Linux-running customers. -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net aliases: basile<at>tunes<dot>org = bstarynk<at>nerim<dot>net 8, rue de la Faïencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France
