This card works with the Macintosh. I have had two of these cards stop working and Belkin has both times replaced them gratis. What a company!

LINUX Ready PCMCIA Card
rating: 5
This PCMCIA Card, F5D7011, Version 1000, works out of the box with Linspire 5.0, Freespire, Ubuntu/Kubuntu!!
You don't even need the 'Install CD" for 802.11b/g at 54Mbs!
Don't get the F5D7011B, or the Version 2000, they do not work in the above listed Linux O.S.es.

Save your time and money - buy something else
rating: 2
I purchased this wireless network card to replace a Microsoft MN-720. I had nothing but problems and could not get it to work on my wireless network. I thought maybe it was because my router was Microsoft not Belken, so I tried it at work also without success. I returned it and replaced it with a Linksys WPC54GS. The Linksys works great. All I had to do is plug it in. For now on, I'll spend the extra money and get a good product the first time.

Mac OS X 10.3.9 / Pismo Compatible
rating: 5
I am using Ver. 1101 of this card in my Pismo Powerbook, running OS X 10.3.9. Since this card uses the Broadcom chipset, my PowerBook automatically recognizes it and allows me to set it up using the original Airport software. I am using WPA2 Personal encryption for additional security. Belkin does not say that this card is Mac OS X compatible and does not provide Mac drivers for it, but it works fine. Another reviewer mentioned that it works in Mac OS X 10.4 as well, but he did not mention the version number of his card. I also tried Belkin F5D7010 version 5000, but it is not Mac compatible as it does not use the Broadcom chipset.

software issues
rating: 3
I was never able to install the software for this thing. Not only that, it crashed my computer a number of times and made subsequent restarts and shutdowns really slow.
I ended up going with a linksys after I returned this one. The linksys software didn't quite work either, but at least it didn't crash the computer.
What I ended up doing was just using the drivers windows has to run the card and it works perfectly. I would imagine this would have also worked with the belkin, which is quite cheaper.
If you're still in the market for a belkin card, don't install the software. Just run window's drivers and I'm sure it'll work just fine.
