[G4] Wireless Networking for iBook

[B G]

Almost all of the major brands of  Cable/DSL wireless G routers, use  
an interface through the web browser.

This makes them compatible across all platforms. The only issue could  
be if you want/need to do firmware upgrades some only support the PC  
platform.

Of course for ease of setup/usage the Apple ones are the way to go,  
You will pay more for it however.
