Does anyone know of an 802.11 cardbus adapter that will support WPA2 Enterprise in a Titanium PowerBook G4 500 MHz running Mac OS X 10.4.3? -- R. Lynn Rardin |

Linksys WPC54GS currently used in a TI Powerbook G4 667 VGA. This is the "SpeedBooster" model as the less expensive one now uses an incompatible-to-Apple chipset. |

Just to be clear, Richard, you're using this card with WPA2 Enterprise security enabled? I'm not seeing anything about WPA2 Enterprise in the documentation for the card, but that probably doesn't mean much because it's fairly common for the documentation to go unchanged when a new feature is added via drivers or firmware updates. It appears that the Sonnet Aria Extreme card supports at least some form of WPA under Mac OS X 10.3 and later. I've emailed Sonnet tech support for more details. -- R. Lynn Rardin |

A bit of googling <http://wireless-starter-kit.com/airportblog/archives/2005/09/wpa2_support_in.html shows that the Linksys card does support WPA2 enterprise and as of Airport update 4.2, so does OS X 10.4.3 I can't determine from the university's documentation (or remember) if they are using WPA or WPA2 Enterprise security. Apple's Internet Connect program isn't giving very explicit details about the nature of the connection either. R.

We ended up going in a different direction, but I'll pass this info along to our campus IT guys, as the Linksys card may well be an alternative to the Sonnet card we bought (see below). It appears that the Sonnet Aria Extreme card supports at least some form of WPA under Mac OS X 10.3 and later. I've emailed Sonnet tech support for more details. Sonnet tech support indicated that they use the same Broadcom chipset for their Aria Extreme cards that Apple uses for their AirPort Extreme cards and that they didn't see any reason why WPA2 Enterprise wouldn't work. So we ordered one. I installed it in the PowerBook G4 500 MHz yesterday and it seems to be working fine. I had planned on updating the machine to OS X 10.4.3 when the card arrived, but it turned out that WPA2 Enterprise worked ok when the machine was running OS X 10.3.9 with AirPortSW42 installed. So, for now, I'll stick with Panther on the machine. -- R. Lynn Rardin |
