General Mac hardware discussions: Wireless in G3
Wireless in G3
by mikealex80 - 2/9/06 9:15 PMI just purchased my first mac a cheap used g3 lombard. I've been wanting to try a mac and the price was right. It has OSX on it, can I use any wireless card to connect to my wireless network or does it have to be an apple aircard?

No, it does not have to be an Apple Airport card. This is just as well as there is nowhere to put one anyway.
You will need a wireless PC card that is compatible with Mac OS X.
Do a Google search for such a device. Apple do not make a wireless card for the G3 laptop range.

Thanks for the help. I ended up getting a Hawkin HWC54DA, and probably paying too much but it was the only one I could find at a local store that came with mac support, and I was too impatient to order something online.
