I'm sure this question was pretty much answered already but I just wanted to add another option which is what I did for this old PowerBook G3 Wall-street I'm still banging on.
I got the universal WIFI adapter by IOGear. (model number GWU627) for less than $25 on sale at newegg.com. Instead of a card to plug in to the side this is a small dongle that you plug an ethernet cord into and then into the ethernet port of the laptop. It also needs power via USB but it is very easy to set up and even though I'm only running OS X 10.2.8 I had no problem configuring it up even on this old machine. The reason I went this route rather than a PC card is because if I want to I can also use this for a Blueray player, Smart TV, game consoles or anything with a ethernet port. It is also 802.11 B/G/N compatible with up to 150 Mbps transfer speeds. (which is almost fast than this old 266MHz processor can handle though the 10BASE-T ethernet port on it throttles it down to 10Mbps) Just thought I'd share another option out there to think about. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
