I bought a wireless card from Belkin. It is due to arrive today. I emailed Belkin tech support and they told me that it uses a Broadcom bcm9402 chipset and any card using this chipset would have a compatible driver. Unfortunately, I have been unable to ascerain what cards use this chip so that I can download the proper driver.
If anyone knows which card or driver I should be seeking, I would appreciate the heads up.
Thanks and have a great day.

If you bought it from Belkin, they should provide you with a driver (I assume you mean OS X).

Edit: If, for some reason, Belkin isn't supporting their own products, this site should help:

I do not like those green links and spam.

Will this work with a "G" card?
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

Why don't you wait for it to arrive before you ask about drivers.
Broadcom chips are sometimes seen as native Airport cards by OSX. Which also reminds me that you are posting no information about the type of card (PC, USB, PCI) you are asking about, your system, or the OS you are using. Without any of that info there's no point in asking your questions because there's nothing to go on to be able to give you answers.

It is a PCMCIA card being used with a Titanium Laptop running Panther 10.3.6. I recently updated my Airport Software to 4.1.
Hope this helps.
