    I was thinking about picking up an iBook G3 from eBay for tinkering and web surfing, and was wondering if there was anyway to get 802.11g on it (aside from a wireless-ethernet bridge). Thanks.

    It already has airport. But I thought that was only 802.11b...

    If it is an actual Apple Airport Card, then it is fully compatible with 802.11a,b but not compatible with g,n.
