Hi everyone! I am considering buying a MBP 13.

My current Internet service provider provides a USB WLAN adapter that plugs into an external antenna. This card has drivers only for windows. So, if I were to install XP on my new mac, would it have issues recognising the card and connecting to a wireless network? Does it default to the drivers for the internal WLAN card even when connected to an external LAN card on windows? Thanks!

Although the ISP might have only provided windows drivers, the manufacturer of the card probably has OSX drivers. Search for it.

Nope,I searched for it.. They just have Xp drivers. Would this work on windows xp on a mac?
