Hey Guys,

Purchased my Dual-Core 2.0 G5 without the Airport / Bluetooth combo card because I didn't need it at the time.

The card is hard to find, and $100 or more if you do.

Are there any PCI 802.11g solutions for these machines?

Thanks!

I have one of these in my B&W G3. I was going to use the G3 as a file server, but ended up buying a NAS enclosure instead - so if you want to buy the wireless card off of me, send me an offer by PM.

Edit: Oops, just noticed that you have a Mac Pro - I'm not sure if this pci card supports intel-mac's.

I don't have an Intel Mac, as said in my original post.

Will that Sonnet card work with PCI-Express? Hmm.

The combo card is NOT a user installable part. You can probably get it done at an Apple Authorized Service Provider though. Cost? I have no clue. But the G5's hardware is pretty specific for a specific part-other wireless cards probably won't be easy to find if at all findable.
