[betaboy]

I am in need of an original airport card, i am willing to trade for it, if somone out there has a spare and are willing to part with it, I would be greatful.

I have a G3 ibook that needs wireless.

owc (http://www.macsales.com) has a usb solution that costs about 30usd. and its wireless-g instead of wireless-b like the airport card you want, so it'll be faster.

thanks for the info, I already have a USB WIFI adapter, it is an ASUS WL-167g adapter, but I dont get good reception with it, I though the airport card would work better, since it is usb 1.1 it is limited to 11Mbps of speed instead of 54Mbps. So I am ok with the wireless B instead of Wirelss G.
But thanks again for the info.

Actually USB is measure in MB/s, not Mb/s. So it could technically handle G without any issues.

That said, you're right on the Airport. I ran a B/G adapter on my G3 iBook for about two weeks, before breaking down and buying an original airport card. The USB adapter's interface was too clunky, not to mention the device itself looked ugly on the laptop and made for way too much hassle trying to lug the laptop around efficiently.

The original white Airport Base Stations have the original airport cards inside should you come across one any cheaper.
