No, you're fine--indeed the bus isn't sufficiently fast to handle a g PCMCIA
card--Jason was just pointing out that if you do use a wireless bridge the
theoretical throughput of wireless G exceeds the throughput of the
squeezebox's wired nic (making the squeezebox's nic the bottleneck in this
situation), thus his point that you will not be able to realize the full
theoretical throughput of wireless G on a squeezebox even with a bridge (at
most you'll get 10mb half-duplex).  This won't be a problem, though--clearly
10mb half-duplex is plenty fast for the application (haven't heard of any
bandwidth problems with wired players) and indeed the g bridge will perform
better than the 802.11b that's built-in to the box.  You'll probably see
practical speeds of ~5mbps with b while with the g (depending on your
environment) you may well fully saturate the available 10mb half-duplex
bandwidth.
