The best is one which utilizes a Broadcom chip set and is recognized as an Airport Extreme card. This would be a PCI card. However, most manufacturers have moved on to USB 2.0 dongles or Ralink-based PCI cards. A USB 2.0 dongle is usable in a G4 Gigabit, but it would operate at the USB 1.1 rate. ZyDAS 1211B-based dongles are good, but there are others which also offer MacOS X-compatible drivers. A very economical alternative is a Mini PCI card for a Dell Laptop in a Mini PCI-to-PCI adapter. You would find these on eBay at very low cost. I have these Dell Mini PCI cards and adapters in almost all of my Hackintoshes. MacOS X recognizes these as shown below: en0: Card Type: Third-Party Wireless Card Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 b/g Supported Channels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Current Network Information: PHY Mode: 802.11g -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
