Quickertek announces 802.11n Card for PowerBooks |
(Updated) Quickertek sent an email press release today (PR page dated yesterday) on their 802.11n CardBus upgrade for PowerBooks (G3/G4 models) available later this month they say for $149.95. (Since No mention was made about drivers, I talked with Rick at Quickertek who confirmed they will be supplying drivers for OS X 10.3.x/10.4.x with the card.) Here's a clip from the PR:
"
