[G4] Installing a wireless card correctly

[JayB]

FWIW, I just ordered the AftertheMac.com USB WIFI adapter for $50.  I  
intend on using on my G4 tower and try it out on my 15" G4 Pbook  
(range absolutely sucks on the aluminum Pbooks Airport).  They claim  
huge increase in range over the Airport cards.  We shall see.

I'll report back on how it works out late next week.
