PCI Wireless

Just curious to know if anyone can recommend a PCI 802.11 b/g adaptor that will work in a Beige G3 Loaded with OS9 and Yellowdog Linux. I would like to have wireless in both OS’s. I have also debated on getting a WiFI to Ethernet Bridge such as the ones from Linksys for games systems. Any one have experience wth these ?

Thanks

Look for wireless stuff for Macs at MacWireless. At least you can get some ideas from there.

Also, obviously, make sure the card you decide on has Linux drivers available. I'm using a Netgear EZ Wireless Card on one of my desktops, which is working flawlessly under Linux. I'd recommend it if you can find one.

So I decided to get the Ethernet to Wifi bridge a Linksys WET11 802.11b --- It works good in Linux but you have to hard code the IP address while in OS9 or anything below for it to work. So I am taking it back and just going to use an old laptop that is connected wirelessly to route network to the beige with a cross over cable.
