New Asante 802.11g card for Powerbooks

[Bryan Forbes]

Hi TiBookers:

Need to check some compatibility issues with some of you on the list.  
Asante is introducting their own Airport Extreme card (due in July) and 
according to their specs <http://tinyurl.com/f6hf> , an Apple—PowerBook 
computer running Mac OS X 10.2.6 and AirPort 3.1 or later will work 
with this card.

In order to use this card (if its compatible with my Tibook 667 running 
X 10.2.6), do I need to ditch my FriendlyNET FR3002AL-1PCM and buy an 
Apple Extreme base station <http://www.apple.com/airport/>.

Also, will the Apple extreme base station allow me to hook up an USB 
printer and use ethernet or wirelessly connected computers (I also have 
a B&W G3 running 9.2.2 and a Performa on 8.6 also connected via 
ethernet in my home network).

If the extreme base station will give me this compatibility (work with 
the new Asante card & give me a connection point making any USB printer 
available to my home network), sounds like it will solve all my issues.

Bonus points ... what would you do if you had two USB printers ... 
could you add a USB hub off the base station and use both ... anybody 
doing this?

TIA
