Wireless Card for Wallstreet? What ones work?

[slooksterPSV]

I need a cheap, 802.11b wireless card for my powerbook G3

Aria Extreme should work with your system (need 10.2.6).

IOExperts (http://www.ioexperts.com/) has drivers for some PCMCIA cards under Mac OS X. I have a Farallon 11Mb/s card which works fine with the driver but it isn't recognised in Airport assistant and doesn't support 802.1X (WPA encryption/authentication). The IOExperts driver hasn't had an upgrade for quite some time now and only the 1-month demo is free iirc.

I recommend searching for a PCMCIA card that gets recognised as an Airport card. I believe some Orinoco/Lucent and Buffalo cards are like this but I'm not sure because it is some time ago I was looking into this stuff and I gave up.

There is an open source driver for a number of third party PCMCIA wireless cards located here: http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/

I just bought a 100' cat5e cable. Next time I buy the tools and make it myself, (I've had to do it in Network Admin). I mean the 100' only cost me $12.99 -darn good price

I bought an Aerocard 'b' speed and it works fine with my Wallstreet with System 9.2.
