Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

Both cards will run under Snow Leopard, although they will be seen as 'third party' cards.

What a number of members (including me) have done is to 'flash' their cards, using a bootable Live Unix stick, so that they are then seen as an Apple Airport card.

This is quite an easy process, and has been discussed in some length here.

It is not something you have to do though.

As to which card to go for, if you have a 'n' spec router, I suppose the 1510 is a better choice... that was the one I went for anyway.

Enjoy!

Thx for fast answer!

one more thing...

so type of card don´t matter...cool

but if i don´t flash the card there is no problem to config them via system preferences?

Thx

As I flashed mine before I 'hackintoshed' I can't say for sure, but I would imagine that it would still be picked up during the actual installation process, and apart from typing in your wireless security 'key' when prompted there is no other configuration necessary.

I have had both the 1397 and the 1510, both work as is out of the box with Snow Leopard (NBI, follow Mechdrew's guide), no need to flash.

I first had the 1510 and it worked great on every network except the one at where I work. I kept getting time out errors.

I then flashed it so that it would be seen as an Apple card, but that did not improve it at all.

Finally, I bought a 1397 off ebay and it worked like a charm.

I have no idea what the deal was, but it works now.
