Airport Card (Original)

[ex0dus]

I have an iMac G4 which I wish to make wireless. Does anyone know if there any PC cards that are compatible with the discontinued airport card?

thanks

Original airport cards are pricy and i don't know of an alternative. Why not buy wireless access point? Any ethernet one should do.

I have got an wireless access point. It's just that the phone line is downstairs and I am fed up with having a wire going all that way. Parents will not let me have a phone line put in upstairs as they dont want wires going up the outside walls....So I am looking at my alternatives and yes the original cards are like gold dust!

No, I mean something like this. Plugs into you iMac via USB and lets it connect to your existing wireless network.

i'm looking for one if exodus doesn't want it

well I do actually have another one in a machine that I no longer use. So I could let that go....seems a waste to keep it there collecting dust.

They're only about $70 on eBay. Original cards are only only 802.11b, though.
