Hi all,

I've successfully updated a non-minimum spec iMac. The only problem I've encountered is that the wireless card doesn't work. I can't start Aiport and the console.log says "can't find interface" or some such.

The card in the iMac is an old Aiport card, NOT airport extreme.

Reading the minimum specs doesn't explicitly exclude this card, although I have a sneaky suspision that 867MHz machines that are included in the spec may only have Airport Extreme cards, and the other isn't supported because of this implication.

Can anyone confirm or otherwise if Airport cards (non-extreme!) are compatible with Leopard? If not, is there a way I can add support? Copy a .kext file from a 10.4 install perhaps?

Thanks

Stuart
