Can anyone tell me of a cheap way I can get my old mirrored door G4 connected to my network? Here's what my network looks like.
In Room A, I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless 4 port router connected to my cable modem and my Dual G5 2.0 GHz (no airport). I also have a MacBook Pro that I use throughout the house wirelessly. Now, I have an old G4 Mirrored Drive Door Dual 1.25 Ghz without an airport card that I want to put in Room B and connect to the network. I don't want to run Cat 5 cable between rooms or share my MacBook Pro's connection with the G4 through an ethernet cable, and I'd rather not use a powerline solution, as I'm looking for something cheaper. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Should work with Leopard since it worked with previous versions of OS X... Belkin is a pretty Mac-friendly company, and it appears they may have just used the same chipset that Apple used for the AirPort cards.
AirPort Installer sounds like some driver package that Apple put out for 10.2 to add support for 802.11(g) cards.
