This $8 free shipping card is on eBay - PROXIM SKYLINE 4030 802.11A WIRELESS WIFI PCMCIA CARD think it'll worK?
No, it won't - thats an 802.11a card, the classic Mac OS has never had any support for 802.11a cards or networks. You want an 802.11b card, based on the Lucent WaveLAN/ORiNOCO chipset. I suggest you do some Googling to find out which cards are compatible. I have an Avaya World Card Gold that is based on this very chipset that I use with my PowerBook 1400, and find to work very well. One card you might want to look for is the Dell TrueMobile 1150 (not the 1100), and there's plenty of other names that the Lucent WaveLAN/ORiNOCO chipset was sold under.
