[Ti] Wireless card

[Eric]

hi - this is a very timely thread.

  i just borrowed a buffalo wifi card to see if wireless reception is 
better (or how much better) with the external card as opposed to the 
airport extreme card.

the card is recognized, it shows up in my menu. my question is how to 
activate it - how do i tell the computer to use this card rather than 
the airport extrme card. can you switch back and forth between the 
cards?

specifically, it's the WLI-CB-G54A which supports os x

thanks for the help, eric
