Possible to turn Macbook Air into wireless NIC for desktop?
 

It's so hard to pvp on this 11" tiny thing :(

What do you want to do? Connect your desktop to your mac to get wireless?

If so, why not just setup your mac as a router and connect to it that way?

Yes. Desktop wireless card is awful so I have this pretty nice PC just sitting here as I play on my tiny laptop lol. I didn't know I could turn my laptop into a router! Makes sense I guess. Will look into it hehe.

Do you know if it's even possible without the ethernet (or whatever) ports? Maybe a USB converter thing would fix that problem.

An alternative is to get a USB network card for 10-20 bucks depending if you get one with an antenna thing. I have one and it has better speeds than internal board of another desktop as well as my laptops

Those stupid things never work properly. They always drop the connection frequently for no reason. Tried a few :(

Do you have an ethernet port for the mac?

Anyways if you do, should be able to use similar to Windows ICS.

im not sure about macintrash, but windows has this capability built in since xp at least. since apple's strategy has always been to copy their competition, i would only assume that there is a way to do this.

I got a Steve Jobs in my Civilization 5 game the other night.

He was a Great Merchant, not a Great Engineer :T
