PROBLEM:
I am unable to configure the MaxPower 802.11n/g/b PCI Card
using Apple’s built-in AirPort software.
SOLUTION:
This wireless adapter requires the use of the included software. It
will not work using Apple’s native wireless software and drivers.
PROBLEM:
I tried attaching the MaxPower 802.11n/g/b PCI Card to a
game console (PlayStation, XBox, Wii, etc.) that has a USB
port, and I can’t get it to connect to my network.
SOLUTION:
The MaxPower 802.11n/g/b PCI Card requires a software
driver, specific to Mac OS X and Windows, to run. No driver
software is available for any game console.
