The iMac will only work with an Airport card or a USB wireless adapter. The base station you choose needn't be the same as the card you choose; 802.11 cards are interoperable with all 802.11 base stations (of the same variety of 802.11, that is; Airport and Orinocco are 802.11b currently). I use a Farallon Skyline PCMCIA card, but all the base stations at work are Airport Base Stations. -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Any statements herein represent my opinion and do not represent those of my employer.
