All the wireless network cards I see only seem to support Microsoft Windows. Can I use wireless computing with Apple Macintosh or computers running Linux?
If you are an Apple Macintosh user, you currently have a few options for using wireless computing. Many new Macintosh’s come with support for Apple’s AirPort wireless networking which can be used with wireless computing at Andrews University. If you use an older Macintosh PowerBook that does not support AirPort, you can use the SkyLINE wireless networking card from Farallon (although the SkyLINE has not been verified to work with wireless computing at Andrews University, it’s specifications meet the stated requirements). If you use a computer running Linux, you may use the wireless networking cards available at the ITS computer store here on campus. Although they do not include Linux drivers, we have found third-party drivers that will allow the use of these cards with Linux. Please email bidwell@andrews.edu for more information.
