Apple Tech Info Library notes that third-party wireless cards are not yet compatible with OS X. (Most cards are supported by Apple's AirPort software under Mac OS 8.6 and Mac OS 9.).

    Lousy Powerbook support


    Mac OS X doesn't even support the volume and brightness keys on Apple's own Powerbooks. Why should we expect that they will support any kind of 3rd party hardware for portables?


    More seriously, I can't see migrating to MacOS X as the main OS for my Powerbook until Apple does some work on the OS for Powerbooks. The volume/brightness keys did not work on MacOS X PB either. How long can it take to have little things like this done? Never mind power management issues. Powerbook support is clearly not anywhere near the top of their list. There's no point installing OS X just to boot 9.1 all the time.

    no PCMCIA?

    I thought I saw somewhere that PCMCIA cards in general are not supported yet - this is a far more far-reaching omission.

    But I am not sure if it is true - can someone confirm?

    My PC USB Card Works

    Well, as for PC Cards in general, my USB cards in X Final works fine, and it even HotSyncs my Visor. But my WaveLAN card is silent.

    Volume & Brightness Work

    After each Shut Down or Restart, go to System Preferences and click on the Displays and the Sound Panes (causing them to load). The Brightness and Volume keys will now work until you Restart or Shut Down.
