Title: My wireless card died. Is the one I found online the same one?
Post by: Rawrlolsauce! on October 15, 2012, 11:50:59 AM

I opened up my laptop and took out my wireless card. The following information was on it:

MAC: 5CAC4C32C5FD
T77H16707HF
E600004788-024

(other side)
FCC ID: PPD-AR5B97
ATHEROS: AR5B97
IC: 4104A-AR5B97


The one I found online is this (http://www.sartatek.com/product-p/ar5b97.htm). Is that the same card? I think so, but I noticed the MAC ID is different. Is the MAC ID just something individual to each card?

Yes they are the same. Both cards are Atheros ARB95s the MAC is specific to each card
