i just got one of those OEM orionco silver cards that looks exactly like an airport card. it works fine in my pismo's AP slot, as an AP card (even does WPA!). My antenna cable connector is broken too, and the little tiny pin on the inside of antenna connector I is broken off, is it possible to fix that? or can i just use the second antenna connector, i cant try because my antenna's broken.
It's toast. The second port won't transmit, it's receive only.
just out of curiosity, how did you get the silver card into the airport slot?
i used a card similar to this
Hey! That looks familiar!
