Apple AirPort Card Versions

• What is the best Airport Card revision to get?
  - If you have a slot-loading iMac that requires the AirPort Card Adapter, get a revision A, B or C.
  - Otherwise it doesn't really matter.
  - If there is no other difference, get the newer revisions. They come with newer software and firmware and who knows, they might have changed something we don't know about.

• AirPort Software 2.x (and newer?) upgrades all AirPort cards to 128-bit WEP encryption

• AirPort Software is available as a free download
