I'd just dig around for a 802.11 b or g PCI card. I'm sure there is one somewhere that is OSX compatible.

I got this in my Sawtooth and it works GREAT. No extra software needed.

I have a Linksys PCI Wireless G card installed on my B&W G3. Works great with Airport software.

I have been using a Cisco Aironet 350 PCI card with my B&W and OS X. Works like a native Apple product, no fuss no muss. That said, I found this solution to wireless OS X in the unsupported B&W long before Sonnet came out with the Aria solution. The Cisco gear is monsterously expensive compared with the others. Figure on $300 or more for the PCI card and adapter. Ouch!
