abit AirPace WiFi PCI-E Card

[Rob Williams]

abit is well known for their graphic cards and motherboards, especially to the enthusiast crowd. However, network cards was a new one on us, but that changed now that we've taken a look at their reliable PCI-E WiFi card. The best part : It's currently available for $6 after MIR at one popular e-tailer.

vista 64 bit

Does anyone know if this will work on a 64bit vista machine??

I wouldn't chance it. abit's support page offers nothing more than support for their motherboards.

They show a Vista driver

Does anyone know if this will work on a 64bit vista machine??

Did You install one? I notice several on Ebay - but with a stcker that says these are for the Abit motherboards only -

Nice find. I don't recall seeing that support there when I had a gander.

Help with AP mode please!!

I've had the AirPace wifi card for a few years now, but I would like to know how to use it as an access point. I've switched to AP mode, established a new network with a WEP security code. My PS3 and laptop can find the wireless network, but cannot connect to it when i enter the password. Any clues??

I know this isn't a great suggestion, but did you try disabling security on the card entirely, to see if the PS3 or laptop could connect then? Maybe it's just an issue with WEP.
