That's a good idea, but I don't think it'll help Kathi.

Your Quicksilver shouldn't have any problem with Tiger.  You certainly
don't need any kind of wireless card to run Tiger.  Perhaps they meant
that you need Airport if you want to experience every last feature
that Tiger offers, including wireless connectivity.  If you're just
going to plug in an ethernet cable then there's no reason to add an
Airport card to the computer.
