G3 ibook airport card

[Mindcrime13]

hello!

i just bought a used Ibook g3 800mhz, and i does not come with the airport card,
i was searching on ebay and came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-Airport-Co...QQcmdZViewItem

what you think of that? would it work as good as a original appel card?
will ti damage my computer?
or should i get an original apple card?

i got this email from them;

Yes, I can gurantee it will not damage your Mac. My card and
the apple airport card are both 16-bit PCMCIA cards and follow
the standards of PCMCIA. Moreover, the airport slot conforms to
the standards set forth for a PCMCIA receptacle slot.
I have DOA protections for buyers stated in my listing. I do not
have a warrantly because I have never sold a bad card or had a
reported failure. Warranties are based on failure rates, I have no
failures to speak of. I have some customers from 2 years ago
reporting the cards still work great.

thanks for your help!

Your link doesn't work.

In general, I'd recommend going with a real Apple card. Their prices have come down quite a bit recently as more and more of the machines that take them bite the dust.

my other question, once i hook up the card, do i need to download any special software? or do the machine automatically mount the card and show it in the network preferences??

Thanks...original AirPort cards seem to be going for only about $5 more than the generic one you're looking at. So I'd probably still recommend the Apple version.
