I've finally got around to buying a used PowerBook Titanium G4 (A1025) and hope to be able to use wi-fi with it, as I know the Airport card won't work with current standards. I found in my closet a QuickerTek nQuicky 802.11n PCMCIA card and if I can't find the driver CD, I see that it's downloadable from Macintosh Garden. I'll try this (I've used it in the past successfully, I think), but I wonder if anyone knows of a more up-to-date PCMCIA card that might also work. I know it's unlikely, but I hope it's at least worth asking about.

WiFi card for Powerbook Titanium G4?

This is less up to date, but works quite well: Linksys WPC54G, specifically version 3.1
These are cheap and effective, and don’t require drivers beyond those already present in OSX. I can connect to my WPA2 protected wifi network with this card. They are 54Mbps, so slower than 802.11n, but not bad.
They don’t work in OS9.

Many thanks for both suggestions. I can't find the Siemens card, but the Linksys is everywhere, and cheap enough that I can buy a second if the one I ordered isn't version 3.1. Speed isn't as important as reliability (though i may feel differently after I actually try it.)
