Hey, i can answer this one! I'm using wireless right now, actually. My Wallstreet II (G3 233) has a WaveLAN Silver card and is using Apple's AirPort software. Works great! Install the Apple software, plug in the card, restart, and presto! AirPort just like on the Lombard/Pismo and iBook!
They work great on my 5300, too! (And, *sigh* my girlfriend's Comcrap Pressario w/ WinXP) I would definitely recommend using a WaveLAN card (Orinoco/Agere/Lucent/whatevertheyarecalledtoday makes it). The reason I say that is because the AirPort hardware is essentially rebranded WaveLAN technology. In fact, the AirPort base station config software even works w/ the Orinoco RG1000s (is that the right model?) base station! If you open the AirPort base station up, you'll see a WaveLAN card in there too. Plus, they're (relatively) cheap. And they have a neat-o little jack on the side where you can plug in an external Pringles Antenna to extend your range... Like ME! ;-) Doing a Google search for Airport, 802.11b, or WiFi will turn up a TON of info. Oh yeah, the WaveLAN card works on every model from the 190 on up. On the 2400/3400 and later, you can use the Apple AirPort software and forget the Lucent WaveLAN driver software. Anyone ever use one of these w/ a 5x0? I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work... But these machines are pretty finicky, I get the impression, over how the PC Card cage works, especially w/ the PPC upgrade in.
