That wireless card works with OS X because there are drivers built into the OS for it. OS X has many drivers for third-party cards and hardware; that is why it seems so simple to use. Windows does this as well, on that side of the aisle it's called "plug and play."
OS 9 won't recognize the wireless card because it needs a driver for it. It appears that the Cisco WLAN Install application runs in either OS X or OS 9. Get the installer, boot into OS 9 and run it. The extension (driver) you need to use this card in OS 9 will be added to your System Folder

I use a Cisco Aironet 340 wireless card with my Wallstreet. Under Jaguar, it works perfectly, but I should like to be able to use it with OS 9 as well; I have OS 9.2.2 installed on the same, unpartitioned, drive.
However I cannot seem to connect under OS 9 at all and should be grateful for some pointers as to what I might be missing. I am no techie, so please talk slowly!
