Hi

Currently I have an old PowerMac 7600 running os 10.1.5 (thanks to XPostFacto) acting as a webserver. I'm after a wireless card for it so I can move it to a more appropriate location, trouble is i have no idea what will work with it.

Any suggestions?

Is it a local web server (only serving an internal network) or one hosting a web site on the internet? Either way, making that box wireless will slow down its web hosting to a crawl.

I actually don't know what PCI cards will work in a Mac. I would be interested in the responses as well.

OK that would work but the cost is about 2.5 times the price of other solutions.
Tommy Lee do a search PCI wireless has been covered.

nemanirc:
The machine serves pages over the internet, but only has a tiny load as it's mainly for my friends and family. It's speed over wireless shouldn't be too much of a problem because of this.

Captain Obvious:
I have done a search on PCI wireless cards but I can't seem to find an answer on exactly what would work with this particular setup, as it's quite unconventional.
