Much easier, although way less elegant, is to install the proper driver either from Orinoco (up to OS 9) (if you are trying to use Airport you must have a Lucent chip card) or WaveLAN (OS 7.5.2 or higher)
Older Orinoco software version allows me to join my home wifi network even with OS 7.6.1. Right now I am printing from the 5300 to the StyleWriter wirelessly.
On this 5300ce I have the WaveLAN software installed (68k version works fine, PPC not because Open Transport 1.1.1 is not included in OS 7.6.1).
On the other 5300 I have the Orinoco 7.2 thing and OS 9: believe me this one (with 32MB trpled to 96MB with Ram Doubler 2) is way more usable than the OS 9 one with max RAM.
It only 1 minutes to boot compared to the 4-5 minutes of the OS 9 equipped one.

Ben, In a word "Airport". Needs 8.6 or 9 - even then had to hack it into 9. and assuming max RAM installed its acceptable for most purposes.
