There are a few ways you can do this. If you want to use the built-in airport spot in the machine, then you will have to use Apple's kit. However, if you don't mind using a PCI slot, just about any PCI Wifi card that uses the Broadcom chipset will work out of the box (I've got a Buffalo PCI card in my B&W). Also, there are other cards out there that have Mac OS 10.x native drivers that will work. Search the archives of the list, this topic has been discussed before and there is a link to a site that lists Mac OS 10 compatable cards. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
