Try search the forum on those various models and see how other users are getting through. If they are in the list, I am quite sure it is compatible with OSX.

I "built" two of these w/o any problems. Two parts to the wifi card. Easy do for low risk card that works. For Win7 use, you'll have to use the Boot Camp drives.

Sorry I haven't replied. Ive purchased the D-Link DWA-556, so we'll see when it arrives.

Purchased the D-Link DWA-556 Xtreme N PCI Express card from ebay, plugged it in and works straight away no .kexts or setting up .

Is there anyway I can get Airdrop to work, I have it on the Macbook pro so would be nice for the pc. I read it only works on certain dated machines.

hmm.. I just installed exactly same card and its not recognized by OS Lion for some reason.
Any tricks?
Thanks!!

I happened to see a tip from an article that helped me to enable this. Hope this helps you and everybody else enable the AirDrop.
