Hello, I'm looking for a wireless NIC that would work inside a BWG3.
I'm having a hard time trying to find a hardware compatibility table
for wireless NICs and PPC Linux.

Hello, I'm looking for a wireless NIC that would work inside a BWG3. I'm
having a hard time trying to find a hardware compatibility table for
wireless NICs and PPC Linux.
Get one that is supported by open source drivers, such as the ones in the
linux kernel (bcm43xx, prism, orinoco) or one supported by the aethros or
madwifi projects. Avoid those that work only with ndiswrapper as you need
windows drivers for those.

I have an Airport Extreme supported by bcm43xx and it works without big
problems (sometimes connection is lost upon sleep cycles, but it was
expected).
