Actually, after some research on the Internet, I realize I can hook my G4 directly to the WRT54G via Ethernet, which answers that question.
I would still like to connect my G3 Ibook using the 802.11g technology vs buying an Airport Card only using the "b" technlogy. Any suggestions? Could a Linksys card be used on the G3 Ibook?
