Hi Thomas,
I pulled the Airport card from my Pismo and switched to a Belkin wireless G+
Notebook Card (apparently that is the name of the model)
I use it in wireless G mode for both OS 9 and X (I have noticed that I have
to type in the $ sign before my password when using OS 9) - supports WPA and
WPA2, WEP 64-bit and 128-bit - this with no other driver than Airport.
Wireless N is not supported on this unit.
Hope this helps.
Dana
