Here's an Apple article about it. Apparently the only G4 that takes 
an Airport Extreme (versus Airport) card is the PowerMac G4 FireWire 
800.

Here's an article showing how to differentiate between different 
models of G4, so he can look and figure out if he has the required 
model. If not, he will have to exchange it for an  Airport card. I 
have bought a few of those on eBay, and there are other sources 
around, but Apple no longer sells them.
