Mac OSX 10.4, Tiger, CompatibleJun 07, 2005
By JAS
My original Belkin F5D7010 ver 3000 card died in Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger. This version uses the Ralink chipset, and there is no currently available software for this card with Tiger (see my F5D7010 review).
I then purchased this F5D7011 card, which utilizes the Broadcom chipset (as in AirPort cards), and it it works in Tiger using the AirPort software in my Powerbook G4 (DVI, 667MHz). Oddly, the normal 'AirPort Setup Assistant' application did not work, but the 'AirPort Setup Assistant for Graphite or Snow' hooked up just fine.
Others have claimed similar success with F5D7010 ver 1000 or 2000, which also utilize the Broadcom chipset. These should also work in Tiger, but I have not tried these directly and cannot confirm the findings.
I'm very happy with the new setup. No more buggy Ralink software, and wireless access while in OS X 10.4. Hope this works for you too.

 Mac OS X 10.3.9 / Pismo CompatibleMay 01, 2006
By Spock
I am using Ver. 1101 of this card in my Pismo Powerbook, running OS X 10.3.9. Since this card uses the Broadcom chipset, my PowerBook automatically recognizes it and allows me to set it up using the original Airport software. I am using WPA2 Personal encryption for additional security. Belkin does not say that this card is Mac OS X compatible and does not provide Mac drivers for it, but it works fine. Another reviewer mentioned that it works in Mac OS X 10.4 as well, but he did not mention the version number of his card. I also tried Belkin F5D7010 version 5000, but it is not Mac compatible as it does not use the Broadcom chipset.

 Save your time and money - buy something elseMar 03, 2007
By T. Sellers
"tms2"
I purchased this wireless network card to replace a Microsoft MN-720. I had nothing but problems and could not get it to work on my wireless network. I thought maybe it was because my router was Microsoft not Belken, so I tried it at work also without success. I returned it and replaced it with a Linksys WPC54GS. The Linksys works great. All I had to do is plug it in. For now on, I'll spend the extra money and get a good product the first time.
Revives an old Apple PowerbookMar 10, 2011
By Aloysius Horn
This is just the ticket for giving a second life to a first-generation Apple Powerbook (running Tiger) as a useful web reader. Just plug the F5D7011 into the PC-card slot and its recognized as if it were an airport card. And this give you 802.11g, instead of 802.11b. $15 well invested!
