wl-130g PCI wireless card
One question.
I do not need the wireless card supplied with my A8V. My friend wants to have it. Does this card work in a PC without a Asus motherboard? Frank |
I´m asking this because the card cannot be found anywhere on the net and the
manual says you nee a asus board |

If this is the one that goes into the special asus slot then the answer is
no.. You could probably sell it on ebay. And what is the special asus slot? It is a normal PCI card. In the manual it says remove the bracket on the pci slot you INTEND to use. It says nothing about put it in slot 1 2 or three. It is not a small AMR or what card, normal PCI |

It is not a small AMR or what card, normal PCI On certain ASUS motherboards, there is a AMR-like interface, which is used along with a specific ASUS brand card/external antenna, permitting you to not only access a WiFi network, but act as an AP for others. You can't use it in other motherboards, and you can't use PCI slot 5 on the motherboards that have it if you are using the proprietary card. |

It looks like a PCI edge card. http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Arti...eview&Series=0 Uses one of the Ralinktech chipsets. The MAC chip RT2560F has PCI and Cardbus options. http://www.ralinktech.com/prod-2.htm Slap it into a PCI slot and try it. Paul |

It is not a small AMR or what card, normal PCI I'd say give it to ur pal and let him try it then.. :) I dont know any of their version numbers.. but if it goes into a pci slot (and if you can use any slot) then I would assue (bad thing sometimes) that it's safe to go into any slot, granted it might not work, but it shoudl be safe. |
