No 802.11g card will work under OS 9 with Apple-original drivers - if you'll recall, AirPort Extreme (Apple's name for 802.11g) was introduced in machines that wouldn't boot OS 9, thus only OS X (10.2.6 or 10.3+, I think) supports it.

Some machines do boot OS 9 and have Airport Extreme, but I believe you are correct anyway.

ResolutionThe AirPort Extreme Card requires AirPort 3.0 software or later, which is not available for Mac OS 9. To use AirPort, start the computer up in Mac OS X.
