anything that has mac drivers. You might want to pose this in another forum, as it is not really powerbook related but more wireless related.
As far as I know all the pismos are airport ready, i've never heard of one not being airport ready.

FYI, it's a NON-firewire powerbook G3 400.

That is a lombard not a Pismo. Pismo is airport ready!
Lucent makes a good card

Yah, I was about to say, my Pismo was on Airport as soon as I got it. Lombards can't do 802.11b ? Unfortunate.
In any case, I've owned a few routers, and the highest quality has been a LinkSys one. The Apple ABS crapped out after three months, and I've had the LinkSys for 1.5 years now. My father's PC laptop uses a Lucent card, which works just fine.
I don't think there's much difference between the various products of the 802.11b persuasion. The technology will be passé before your card breaks (after all, Apple has already gone to the next variation).

Actually a Lombard will do the job just fine. You need to get a PC card type 802.11b card for it that has a little antenna on the end of it.
