Hey all.
I have a powermac digital audio that just sits in the closet.
it does **** all just downloading all day.
basiclly i want to connect it to my surrounding wireless networks

So i need a wireless card for it + a large antenna 16 dbi.
is there a PCI card, or USB. what options do i have
any advice or should i just get a wireless router.
i'm hoping it would be cheaper this way.

any advice??

yes! i'm using one of these:

Motorola Wireless PCI Adapter WPC1810G

in my G4 Sawtooth, and it works right of the box. plug it in, and it's recognized. it has an external antennal that's larger than other PCI cards i've seen, and it's detachable, so i'm sure you can hook up an external antenna. the best part is, i picked it up at walmart for $35.
