So… with no Airport here, what stuff must I get?, just an Airport Extreme or Express base station to get the wifi aimed to the DS or must I add an Airport card inside my G4 MDD?, I mean, would be possible to connect the base station to the Mac via an old fashioned Ethernet cable and then the base station serving the DS as wi-fi router?, the Airport would be aimed to feed the DS, none of the three Macs over here are Airport 'ready', just sharing a non wireless router.

How about using your Mac's Internet sharing via Airport card? I don't have a base station or Express, but I do have a card in the Mac that I could share my DSL from.

As soon as Mario Kart DS is out, I'm there.

So, anyone have advice about this model:

Linksys BEFW11S4

Does it work under Tiger?, can not find drivers on the linksys support site.

Any other option besides Apple's ?
