WIll the regular Airport card work correctly in an iBook G4? Reason I ask is that I need a regular Airport card for functionality with KisMAC and other sniffer programs.
Thanks

I *think* all iBook G4s use Airport Extreme, so no.

Nope. You're stuck using an AirPort Extreme card.

There's no such thing as "802.11b regular." There is 802.11b and 802.11g (and also other variations, but let's not get into that). And no, you can't use an Airport card in an iBook G4. It's Airport Extreme only because the shape of the cards is necessarily different (AE needs more bandwidth than the connector for Airport can provide).

Smile. It will make people wonder what you're thinking.

Just to clarify you can get any Wireless Network Router as long as you have a Apple Extreme Card right?

As long as the router is 802.11b or 802.11g (avoid 802.11a...it's a different wireless standard). I'd also actually try it first to make sure it gives the range you want and isn't a hassle to configure, etc.

I have a D-Link 624 router (802.11g) that I use to provide wireless access to my 14" iBook (Airport Extreme) and 17" iMac (Airport - 802.11b). Works perfectly fine as long as the router is NOT set to use 802.11g exclusively. Took me awhile to figure this out when I added my iMac to the network - wouldn't connect to router until I used router set up to use both 802.11b AND 802.11g.
