This has been asked many times over the years. And it isn't.
The PCMCIA card in the SB1 is non-cardbus, apparently non-cardbus
802.11g cards don't exist. So thats the first stumbling block. If they
did exist you would have the problem of the software in the SB2
probably not working with the new
Does the wireless SB1 have an ethernet port?
If so, why not pickup a Linksys wrt54g router, install dd-wrt,
configure the router as a client bridge and plug the SB1 into it?
I've been doing this with a wired only SB3, since it was way cheaper
than buying the mini-pci card and antenaes. Works
I'm about to try this with a D-Link DI-624, since I happen to have it in
hand. Why are you specifically suggesting the Linksys wrt54g?

Cost, features, flexibility.
The Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS access points (various models and revisions;
other vendors have similar models that should work as well with DD-WRT,
Tomato, etc.) can usually be had for for

Did you ever figure out if it was possible to swap the card?

There have been various discussions over the past year or so about the
lack of 802.11g and WPA support for the SB1. The wireless card for the
SB1 looks like a standard PCI card. At the risk of asking a dumb
question, could I swap out that card for a newer, standard 802.11g card
and thereby
I believe the reasons given during those past discussions is that the
bus connecting the wireless card to the CPU is not capable of
supporting an 802.11G card.
