Hello all,
anybody try this card in a g4 tower. I saw a good deal on one and it would help out quite a bit, but don't know anything about the card. I checked the manufacturer's site and it looks good to go, but always good to hear from other users.

Looks like it is a Broadcomm based card. This is the same chipset as the AirPort Extreme cards. It should just plug in the Pmac G4, and be recognised automatically by OSX 10.2.8 or higher as AirPort. I am using a similar card in my PMac DA, and OSX Tiger just treats it like an AirPort card.
