PCI WiFi and USB cards for beige G3 and Linux?

[Andrew McCall]

Hi Folks,

I have just brought an aging PowerMac G3/266MHz back to life with and
extra 256Mb RAM and YellowDog 3.0.1 Linux. It seems like its going to
be a nice little machine and good for a few more years.

I currently have a wireless network in my house and was wondering if
its possible to get a wireless PCI card that will work with Linux on a
PowerPC.

Also, I would like to use the system using a USB KVM, and was
wondering about support for third party USB or USB/FireWire cards.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with either of
these two subjects?

Thanks,

Andrew McCall

Anything based on prism and orinoco chipsets will do just fine.

Those PCI cards work just fine with linux.
