The Wavelan silver works like a charm. It won't work with the Apple
Airport software, but the Lucent/Orinoco/Agere supplied drivers for
PowerPC 16bit/NuBus machines work just fine. Pretty easy to set up. Just
tell the TCP/IP control panel to use the Ethernet Slot 1 card (or whatever
it's
My Wavlan Silver works great on my 3400, running OS 9—and it's using Airport

No doubt. That's because the 3400 has 32bit capable PC card slots and a
PCI architecture. The 5300 (which we are talking about - hence the
subject header) does not.
For the record, the AirPort card _is_ a rebranded WaveLAN Silver card
(last time I checked anyway). Open up a base station and

Is the PCMCIA slot in the 3400 32-bit? I was under the impression it was

Gary,
yes, it is. So is the 2400 and Original G3. That is why it is so trivial

of the box). All PCI architecture macs have 32bit expansion slots (which
is the PCI spec, by the way).
