[G4] 3rd party wireless networking, again

[Michael Marciniak]

Hello All,

I was having problems putting a PGI wireless card also, and ran across 
some very valuable information.

First, I learned Only PC cards using the Broadcom chipset will work 
with the native Apple Airport software.

I found the Belkins to work fine and cheap $25 (Regardless of the 
idiot's at Fry's who insisted I need to buy the "plain white boxed 
card" for $99 because it's the only Apple compatible one they sell).

I also used a PCMCIA Belken in my PB, works fine.

Here is a link to a comprehensive list of manufacturers and which 
chipsets are in their cards.

The other useful advice I have is always purchase anything with full 
24/7 phone support. (free in belkins case). It came in handy, And the 
D-Link (I believe) print server didn't want to play nice, but I had to 
wait until monday to call them during regular business hours.

MacinTouch and xlr8yourmac have a lot of info available for older G4's

Hope this helps
