How much success any of you have had with running a wireless PCI card on
a G3 tower running YDL? What brands of wireless PCI cards have you
used? Does it make a difference which? How difficult is the setup?
I would rather not spend $299 on an Airport. I picked up a $140 D-Link
Wireless Access Point to add to my home LAN and have been disappointed
with trying to gain access to the settings via html. I have not even
been able to set the password. I may end up returning it to the store I
bought it from if I don't get anywhere with D-Link support. An
alternative would be to install a wireless PCI card in my G3 running
YDL.
Note: I have one of the earliest B&W G3's and I believe it is missing
the hardware interface for an Airport Card. Perhaps I can salvage one
from another G3 or G4?
