OK. Does anyone know the best way to get a G3 PowerMac B&W Wireless? I have a D-Link Wireless-G Router and my IBM ThinkPad is wireless with a PC-Card, and my other desktop has a Linksys USB Wireless-B Adapter.

I've gone online and checked prices for an Airport Extreme PCI Card and they run for like $99. Then I could get a Wireless to Ethernet Bridge, which one goes for $43 (Wireless-B Linksys WET11) which isn't all that bad. And then there are some USB Adapters that go for like $75 on eBay Shipped.

And, I've tried making a Proxy to send the Wireless Connection through my ThinkPad to my PowerMac but it didn't work... :(

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Nick

No, I was asking the best way wirelessly. I'm not sure which airport card is compatible.
