I am setting up a similar thing at home but it is not easy to find Mac compatible wireless cards at a reasonable price in the UK :-( If you are not planning on upgrading to a more modern Powerbook then just get the standard Airport hub (avoid the 1st generation 'graphite' hub as I believe it only has 1 UTP port, go for the 2nd generation 'snow' hub). If you may get a newer Powerbook in the future then you may want to think about an AirPort extreme hub as it can do 54Mb/s as opposed to 11Mb/s of the original one. Ben.
