Hi
The Lombard does not support 1GB, it supports 512MB and it is very
fussy over what sticks it likes.
Also the Lombard officially supports 10.3.9 and not 10.4.11, although
with a tweak of the installer you can run 10.4.11 very nicely on it, I
have installed it on about 3 different Lombards.
You can indeed pick up an 11g wireless card that pops in the PCMCIA
card. I have a Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A and that works a dream and is
recognised as a genuine Apple card complete with WPA support.

I think you'd be a lot happier with OS X rather than MacOS for
wireless. The Lombard can support 1GB of RAM and run 10.4.11, so
with full RAM, a quick larger HD, and 10.4.11 you could probably
even access a modern 802.11n card, and certainly an 802.11g card. If
you stick with MacOS you'll probably be limited to 802.11b speed,
which is really slow. You'll also have problems with modern
encrypted networks because MacOS doesn't support anything other than
WEP and most new wireless networks are WPA encryption.
