I have an older G-3 400 mhz Lombard powerbook. I am looking to change the wire-less card that I am currently using because it does not support wep and I dont know if it ever will.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a card that will work for me ? Any suggestions?

Running OSX 10.3.6.

I'm using a Buffalo Airstation card in my Ti-400. The Macintosh compatible card is model # WLI-CB-G54A and target.com has the best price, web-only:

It uses the broadcom chip, so no extra drivers needed in Panther. The best thing is that it supports appletalk over the wireless portion, which most other cards don't (except apple's and macsense, afaik.) Of course, you also need a base station that supports appletalk over wireless (the Buffalo Airstation does--anyway, if you don't have an appletalk printer, then this isn't important. I needed it for reliable printing to my LW 16/600.)

I've used both the Lucent Orinico Gold and Enterasys-branded cards on G3 PowerBooks. Your best bet for these is eBay.

Are you sure you don't mean that your current card doesn't support WPA? I was under the impression that even the EARLIEST 802.11b cards all supported WEP.

For clarification, WEP is the original wireless security protocol, has been proven to be insecure, and comes in two flavors: 40-bit (aka 64-bit) and 128-bit. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is new, VERY secure, and comes with two different authentication methods: RADIUS and Pre-Shared Key.

I concur with the earlier posters: Buffalo and Lucent/Orinoco are good with Mac support, are reliable, and should perform well for you.
