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 pass� 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.
