Just a quick to let you folks know that the Belkin wireless "54g" cardbus card WORKS with Panther (I'm the person who inquired in this list whether or not it did).

I read in lowendmac that it should work with Airport 3.1, so I went and bought it.
It worked right out of the box on my Wallstreet (running 10.3.4 *very well*, thanks to XPostFacto). It appears in the menu bar as "Broadcom 802.11g" (afaik, this indicates the kind of chipset the card uses, so other cards with the same chipset ought to work, too). Also, if a version of Airport 3.1 or greater is available for jaguar (I don't have any machine running jaguar, so I don't know), then I imagine it should work also.
As far as using it, it works just as if the machine had an airport card.


Now I have a nearly 6 years old machine, which can do Panther, and has Firewire (Newertech card), Usb 2.0 (another Belkin card) and wireless "g". And I did not install any drivers, these cards were supported by the drivers included in the OS (for the first two, I can confirm that they work with Jaguar). That's one thing to consider when people are choosing between a new iBook and a new Powerbook. Who knows what new technologies do arise in the next few years?
