Will a 802.11b wireless ethernet card work in a PowerMac 5400 running OS 8.6?
I'd like to move this machine into another room and a cable run isn't feasible. If it will work, any recommendations on which card to buy?
I recently saw a device at a video game store that might be easier than trying to get WiFi working on an older computer.
D-Link makes these; IIRC the model number is DW-810 or something like that, and D-link retails them for $80 on their web site.
They work quite well; you set the Mac to get an ethernet address automatically, then use your web browser to connect to the device, (once connected) to set everything up.
