For several years now, Apple® users have chafed at the issue that most wireless cards (CardBus and PCI) don’t work with Apple’s computers. Why is that? It’s because the Apple® client driver only works with the Broadcom chipset. Recently, OrangeWare developed a Mac OS X Wireless Driver for the 3Com wireless line of cards which use the Atheros chip, and licensed the driver to 3Com. As a result, the Atheros based 3Com cards are now compatible with Macintosh. This Macintosh compatibility is offered by 3Com at no charge to its users.
OrangeWare’s Wireless Driver for Mac broadens the driver availability to all users of Atheros based wireless cards. They include D-Link, Netgear, Aztec, Elecom, Fujitsu, IBM, Linksys, NEC, Samsung and Sony, and many more. All their current wireless offerings listed below can use the new OrangeWare Driver. This means that the Mac user can now link up with Mac and PC access points by using a variety of now-compatible wireless add-on cards. These solutions coupled with the OrangeWare driver are faster than the Airport® Extreme cards, and can cost half as much.
Another unique benefit of this driver is for the Mac users who need to connect to PC based “802.11a” wireless access points. OrangeWare’s driver is the only solution available to Mac Users -- nothing else works.
