Hello:

For what it may be worth, the only way I can get my Apple wireless card 
inside my G4 MDD dual 1.25 processors Mac to connect is without 
encryption and password, meaning the transmission is in the clear, so 
anybody with a wireless card can connect to my network.  The Addlogix 
wireless adapter might work if the encryption and password functions are 
turned off, but who wants to have a completely vulnerable network that 
allows strangers in?
