DLink doesn't support this card on Macs.

I've used the Buffalo Technologies WLI2-PCI-G54 wireless PCI card which uses the same chipset as the Airport Extreme card. With the latest Airport software, you don't need any special drivers. OS X just picks it up as a third party Airport device. The only downside is that you're stuck with WEP support only. But it works.

I've had pretty good luck with Sonnet's wireless card... you'll need to get 10.2 or later for your system though (you should do that anyways as very little software still runs on 10.1).

Nice price for that G4. I haven't seen any going for that low here in the US. I have a number of clients that would love to have a G4/400 for $131 US (system plus shipping).

Congrats on the buy!
