Yes, that's correct, but it's not apple specific hardware. All 802.11b
equipment _should_ would with each other just fine, so if you got a WAP it
should work with whatever you get for your G4, but as for the G4 itself
i'm not sure. You might have to get one of those cool airport cards. You
might be able to get the PCMCIA into PCI card to work, but i'd research
that one first.
