Just a cautionary note. Most wireless PCI cards these days, require a PCI 2.1 compliant motherboard. I have found that even for Windows units running from the OEM with XP, that many wireless cards do not work in the cheap older motherboards. Also some wireless chips have issues with VIA chipsets on the motherboard. Even assuming you find a working chipset combination as Mark D. provided, it may just be easier to get a bridge/game/ethernet wireless adaptor for $40-80 dollars, and save yourself a lot of hassel, including opening the box. It will also give you the ability to use better security like WPA-Personal or even Enterprise level with TKIP or AES encryption which I believe even the GenMac is not supporting.
