I want to play at home with wireless but before I go spending, I thought that I would confirm a few things first. Please correct me if I am wrong.
[I have an iMacG4/700, G4AGP, G3MT, PM5500 some with OSX some with OS9, connected via 10/100 ethernet switch] You can use an '11g ethernet to wireless bridge' box to enable just about any mac to connect with a 54 MB 11g system. (But dont you need to be using OSX 10.3 for it to understand 11g and airport protocols? or will OS 9.1 do or even an SE30 with an ethernet card!?) Is there any difference between an 'ethernet to wireless bridge' and a wireless access point (which presumably has an ethernet port and a wireless port just like a bridge would have) You can use an 11g PCI card in a pci enabled Mac provided that the card has a Broadcom chip set and the Mac is running OSX 10.3.x (or 10.2 or 9.2 or ... ?) so that it will recognize the card. The Mac will see the card as an Airport Extreme device. Then using Airport setup you should be able to have the Mac be a software base station/access point.
