is apple going to put wireless "N" in the mac book pro?

Apple Insider is a bonified rumor site. Nothing it says should be believed or trusted.

done deal.

All Core 2 Duo MBPs are already "N" ready. All that's required is to download the enabler that Apple posted about 3 weeks ago.

since apple released the new airport extreme base
station and apple tv with wireless N, are they going
to put wireless "N" in the mac book pro, and when?

If you have a first generation MacBook Pro and you want 802.11n you will have to perform the upgrade yourself...

I have a first generation 17" MBP. I really want 802.11n -- I don't care if I have to pay for a new card and installation, but will that even be possible???

I'd rather not DIY my laptop.

Check out Belkin's ExpressCard 34 Model F5D8071 - looks like it will allow 802.11N connectivity via ExpressCard slot on our MacBook Pros.

$100 at CompUSA and BestBuy. $126 on eBay.

Clint,

Don't see where it supports Mac OS.

William

The Belkin express card seems like a good alternative, but as far as i know there are no OsX drivers yet. There was an article on xlr8yourmac.com that said in late Feb there would be drivers for Macs.....but that seemed pretty unofficial.

The Belkin express card will not currently work in the Core Duo MacBook Pros because they don't yet have a driver written for the Mac yet. They do however have a USB version that is supposed to work, will let you know shortly.

I don't know if you have an Authorized Apple Dealer in your area but I have a close relationship with one here in the Los Angeles area. I know they would perform the upgrade for me if I asked. You might see if you could get the part and have an Apple Dealer install it.

William, I live just east and over the hill from you in Riverside. Can you be bribed? Food?
