    I'm wondering if anyone here has a Apple laptop with a N wireless card. I'm specifically looking for someone who has an Atheros N card in their machine, because I'm looking for the correct model number to purchase one for my MacBook. I have the ****ty Broadcom card and want something better.

    If you don't already know how to check which card you have, you'll find it by going to Apple Menu -> About this Mac -> More info -> Airport Card.

    Thanks!
