I use Farallon's Skyline Wireless Card. I bought it on ebay. They go
from $25-50. I did a google search for the wireless drivers. There is a
driver for OS 9 and OS X. It works great with my Airport Station in
both OS 9 and OS X. The one I bought also came with a pci adapter for
my desktop so I can make my desktop wireless while at home and eject
the card and use it in my laptop while away from home.

I have an old Wallstreet that works fine for me. Unfortunately, its

I'll worry about the battery later. For now: what is the best and/or
cheapest way to get wireless to my Wallstreet?
It has a modem in it, and it has an Ethernet plug in the back. I think
both PCMCIA cards are available.
I'd appreciate vendor advice, as well as specific product advice. If
possible.
I'm going to Seattle this week, iso I might be able to pick something
up while I'm there. If there's a good vendor in Seattle. (The
University District's Apple store didn't seem geared AT ALL for old
Macs.)
It's a 250 MHz Wallstreet running OS 9.1. I may put a flavor of OS X
on it later this year, simply because I love OS X and won't mind a
speed reduction. I use it mainly for writing. I could easily make do
with my 280c, except for it lacks wireless and a battery as well.
