I've had to use dongle-type adaptors (albeit not for wi-fi) on my old PowerBook 1400 and Dell (yuk! ptooey!) Latitude laptop (ham radio digital commo only), found them to be a PITA. Actually, installing an AirPort card is pretty simple. The two tabs at the top of the keyboard (next to Escape and Eject/F12 keys) pull down and the keyboard lifts out. The AirPort card slot is right there. There's an itty bitty wire with an itty bitty plug which is the antenna coax which plugs into the AirPort card. It may need to be accessed anyway if the dongle wireless system doesn't have its own antenna. Cool on the ham license. Macs have a higher representation among hams due to Mac's superior technology which hams recognize - some 17% according to trackers on ham sites.

It comes with a little utility to scan and connect to a wireless network. The G3 iBook recognizes it as en1, or the second Ethernet adapter. Walking out in my front yard I was able to connect to at least 2 unsecured wireless networks. As this was a test only, I just basically connected and saw if I could bring up a web page, then disconnected. I have no desire to steal others bandwidth, but wanted to see if the little thing worked. It seems to prefer vertical polarization, that is, with a short USB cable and the dongle held vertically. I certainly can see why an Airport Card might be better, but this thingie is cheap, (in more ways then one!) and I can report that it works. The documentation that came with it is not great, however.

It ended up being a bit of a hassle, but that was due to my local reseller, not Apple. At least the deed is done and my display is working perfectly! Second, I do have a question about something else going wrong that may be related to the replacement. I can no longer play songs I've purchased from iTunes. When I try, I first get a message that says I'm not authorized to play this song on this computer, and I need to sign in and authorize it. When I enter my username and password, I then get a message that says "This keychain is not valid." It tells me to open Keychain Access, run Keychain First Aid, and try again. Well, I've done this several times, tried restarting, changing my password, etc., and I just keep getting the same message. Any thoughts?
