Farallon has posted a new beta version of its drivers for its PC card and PCI-based SkyLINE 11Mb wireless networking cards. The new 3.0b2 drivers are available for download from Farallon’s Web site by filling out a short form.
The Farallon SkyLINE cards utilize the same networking protocols as Apple’s AirPort hardware. They’ve been developed to provide AirPort compatibility for Mac models unable to support Apple’s own AirPort cards, such as earlier PC card-equipped PowerBook G3 models and PCI-based Power Mac G3s.
The new version of the drivers support the Computer-to-Computer mode introduced with AirPort 1.3. The special mode enables AirPort-equipped computers to communicate directly with one another without using an AirPort Base Station.
