I've always been a fan of Etherent->WLAN adapters. No software or drivers to install, and you can find ones that not only support WPA2, but also support full 802.1x authentication (WPA2-Enterprise).

They're often sold as "travel routers" or "Game Adapters". -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Batey, Everett II NAVSEA Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 1:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SOCALWUG] Re: wep and wpa (G3 PPC WPA2) Wonder if anyone has successfully used external WiFi on a PPC G3 that WILL NOT upgrade beyond OS X 10.2.8 ?
