Actually, there are much cheaper G cards for the PC that work with Airport 3.1 and 10.2.6 (Other World Computing has one for $50 here).
Apparently, Apple rewrote parts of Airport 3.1 so that any "Broadcom" card would work. (I have no idea if Broadcom is a brand or a chipset or what...)

AWW come on. I'd have thought by now they'd make an airport slot card!
I would seriously consider an 802.11g card that I can stick in my powermac.

... or my PowerBook G4. I'd hate to have an antenna sticking out of its gorgeous case when there's two perfectly good ones built in. Theoretically it should be possible to replace the AirPort card with a PCMCIA card but I haven't read any convincing success stories yet. If anyone has the courage to try it, let us know how it works out

when I read that product name all I could think about was the real, original, one-and-only Aria. I bet a google search under that name will give you a lot more skin than wifi products. heh.

Broadcom is a manufacturer of 802.11g chipsets.
|
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

"I would seriously consider an 802.11g card that I can stick in my powermac."
They never will--the airport card's bus isn't wide enough to support 802.11g. If you want a 3rd party card, it has to come through the external card slot, or another interface (like FW) that has enough bandwidth for it.
