question about wi-fi

[Paul Higgins]

I remembered seeing something on the YDL site about PCMCIA wireless cards, and 
I just looked it up.  

Info on the older model:
<http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_4.0/netgear-wg511.shtml>

And the new one:
<http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_4.1/netgear-wg511t.shtml>

These are apparently 802.11g (54 Mb) cards that have support built-in to the 
Linux kernel (4.0.1).  Will these work with the iBooks?
