I just got a used G4 Titanium PowerBook, and the seller included the wrong AirPort card (he gave me an Airport Extreme card). So I need something for my PowerBook, but I know that AirPort cards are far from cheap. So I'm looking for a list of at least compatible brands of PCMCIA wireless cards (preferrably G), if not a list of some specific cards. I'll even take a desk adapter if I have to, just as long as I don't have to sit across from the family desktop with an ethernet cable any more. I don't have a lot of money to spend on this.

Thanks

Anything that would be more commercially available? I plan on trying to get to a local mall today, and I'd prefer to try to get something today.

What mduell posted, I've seen at local mom & pop mac stores under different brand names. I'm sure you can find something if you check the local shops.

What I don't get is the fact that I saw a bunch of Buffalo wireless cards at Circuit City and Best Buy today, but none of them said anything about being Mac compatible, and yet those ones are.

And there really aren't any smaller Mac shops in my area. The only one I knew of mysteriously closed.

There are very few Mac compatible wifi cards. I don't think you'll be able to find one locally unless you have a good mac shop around.
