- Are there any such Ethernet-connected wireless 802.11b or 802.11g devices
available? If so, they might be a practical alternative for iBook owners
wishing to go wireless who, possessed of a PowerBook lacking a PCMCIA slot,
are facing rising costs for the ever-scarcer original 802.11b AirPort cards.
Both D-Link <http://tinyurl.com/dj8hf> and Netgear <http://tinyurl.com/52ll9> make them. Both require access to AC power to work. These are really useful for putting wired-only systems on a wireless network; they're less practical for laptop use.
The USB dongles are far more portable.
