I've got a friend's G4 dual 800 (M8483) sitting in front of me. She wanted to add "Airport" so I thought my old Airport extreme card would do - sadly she needs an original airport card, which are quite pricey.



I'm looking for a compatible wireless networking solution - is there anything in a PCI card that I can use on this machine? It's updated to 10.4.8

    i bought a buffalo wireless pci card a couple yrs back for my quicksilver G4. it was the cheapest one they had at microcenter too......i think around 40 bucks when i got it. works perfectly and system profiler in os x lists it as an airport extreme wireless card. the model # of mine is WLI2-PCI-G54.



    any card with the broadcom chipset will work as its indentical to the airport cards
