ok somebody school me.. i'm about 5 years behind and only just getting into all this fancy wireless technology.
need to make my G5 wireless.. any recommendations for a card other than an AirPort Extreme? or what's the deal with these USB adapters?

If you want faster than 54mbit/sec (WiFi G/Extreme) on your LAN you can get a 108mbit/sec USB adapter bundled with a 108 mbit/sec router... otherwise the 54G options are all much the same...

thanks for the replies..
so why would i choose a card (ie. airport extreme) over a usb adapter.. is it just better range?
- ribit0
more likely easier installation/cleaner integration into the Network settings (not really an issue), easier troubleshooting when you are getting help from Apple etc...
for good range I'd go for a Netgear RangeMax or similar router, with adapter... or multiple Airport basestations to extend the network
