Belkin Wireless Notebook Network Card F5D7010 and Tiger

Hi
I'm currently running OSX 3.9 Panther on my G3 500mhz Powerbook and I have a Belkin Wireless Card F5D7010 vers.1314uk which has a Broadcom chipset and works perfectly with Airport. (vers. 1.x 2.x and 4.x are Broadcom, vers. 3.x are Prism)

I'm thinking of upgrading to Tiger but I'm worried that the change of operating system will render my wireless card inoperable or cause problems. Has anybody on these forums had any experience with this Belkin card version and Tiger and can they confirm that it will work after the upgrade?

Any advice would be appreciated

Hi Barry,

Here's what I found...

And about 2/3rds down this page...

Thanks BD Aqua
The second link is particularly helpful since it mentions the F5D7010 card versions 1000 and 2000 as reported as working although the author has not tested them himself.
Both articles are re-assuring I think and indicate that if the card has a Broadcom chipset then it should work natively with Airport in Tiger.

Many thanks for your post.
