I'd like to put wireless into my G4 sawtooth, and I've been looking at PCI cards because they're generally cheaper than the USB dongles. I don't need n speeds, but I'd much prefer to not use an original airport card (b).
I've been poking around, and some of the better wireless cards for good prices are brands such as Netgear, Linksys, and Belkin. Yet I haven't been able find any that state support for OsX. Is this something that is more plug and play, or am I just looking in the wrong places?

I have one of these in my Digital Audio G4 and it works just fine. It shows up as an AirPort card in Tiger (not sure about Leopard).

Wonderful, thank you so much!
My G4 won't be running leopard without a decent amount of hacking, which I don't intend on doing.

imitchellg5, what rev. is your Belkin card? I'm using two of these cards (original rev.) that have the Broadcom chipset and they are recognised as Airport Extreme cards. I don't believe Belkin is still using the Broadcom chipset in the newer cards, and, if not, they might not work with the Airport software.

I have no clue, I've had it for over a year now though, bought it new.
