I have a beige G3/266MHz tower that needs to hook up to the wireless connection in my house.

I figure a Wireless PCI card is the way to go but I haven't found any that support Macs.

Anyone tried this or have other alternatives?

Thanks but I get the feeling it is expensive. Any other PCI solutions?

I already have a USB 1.0 card in it and I didn't know they made USB Wifi dongles. Hope it has OSX drivers.

It's like $70-$80. Not too bad if you can't scare up D-Link drivers.

Yes, it has OS X drivers.

Although, supposedly it works with Panther out of the box (no install needed).
