I think a PCMCIA card with OS 9 drivers is the only viable solution for now (at least for those G4s with a PCMCIA slot), at least until we can get something going with the internal slot.

I think OS 9 can see it (a PCI slot entry exists in ASP, which contains an unknown card whose name is "pci80211", which I assume is the APe card), so that part is already good (OS 9 ought to support the slot itself, since it's a variant of PCI, which has been available on Macs in some form for ages).

So, anyone here able to make up a quick driver? It needn't be pretty, it just has to work (preferably, it could just hook into the existing infrastructure provided by the existing AirPort software, so we don't have to modify everything else; doing this would hopefully also have the side benefit of perhaps making the driver little more than some simple "glue" that will translate the newer "language" of the APe card to something the old driver understands, which would probably be easier to write than a full-on driver).

Also, I think we should revisit the possibility of getting USB 2.0 working, since it would be fun.
