Lorne,

a Belkin FD57010 g card has the broadcom chipset and should be plug and  
use (mine is). it fits in the external Ti slot. Here is a link of the  
product and it list sMac OSX support w/o external drivers.

You can often find these on the bay for about $25. About $50 in places  
like CompUSA and BestBuy but they often have mail in rebates.

Now  some may have have a different chipset and there are free drivers  
for the mac that will operate with it but i have to locate the page.  
There is a link on it on xl8yourmac archives -somewhere-  
<http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/jan05/012605.html> this is not it  
but it has some info.

Here is a link to how a guy got a Linksys g card to work w/o extra  
drivers.

As others have stated you can also purchase the orangeware drivers for  
a number of cards.
