Larry, the Skyline card works great. I used it on my 2400. It comes 
with a CD that actually installs MAC OS drivers for this card. If I 
recall, it's the only non-airport card that has mac drivers. I do 
know that many here on the list have used the Lucent cards and use 
TomeViewer to strip out the correct driver, etc... to make it work. I 
haven't looked into it in a while, so maybe there are some other 
options out there.

My preference would be the Skyline card. I ran System 8.6 on my 2400 
as it only had the 80 megs of ram.

You do not need a cardbus enabled 2400 in order to use a 802.11 card.
