Alternative to PCI card to make my G4 wireless?

[artieannie08]

I've got a new Intel Imac and have a wireless router (a netgear adsl modem dg834), although I haven't made it wireless just yet being new to wireless networks etc. I'd like to make my G4 part of this network. Macupgrades website recommend getting a sonnet aria wireless pci card, but this cost approx £70. Is there any other way of getting it to be on my network, it seems alot of money to spend on an old G4? Any advice would be much appreciated

Well, there are USB dongles, but not all are going to be Mac compatible and they may not be a lot cheaper. Maybe worth having a hunt on eBay?

thanks. Is there any particular USB dongle you could recommend?

Thats bluetooth, not wifi. I would just get an original airport card. They cost about $50 shipped here.

Doh! Stupid me I misread.... Yes, agree that an original airport card is the way to go....
