Anyone got a 802.11b PCMCIA card in a new 15" G4 PowerBook?

[Ed McKnight]

The built-in card works quite well as 802.11b, just not as 802.11g. At 
least it did on my "old" 15" Powerbook--there are a variety of things 
not working correctly with the "new" one, including X, so I haven't 
gotten as far as exercising the wireless on the new one.
