Powerbook G3 Wallstreet Wifi Card?

Hi,
I have a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet PDQ running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.7 via Xpostfacto. What wifi PC Cards will work with it? I heard that there were some issues using certain PC Cards with the Powerbook G3 when using Xpostfacto. Can anyone tell me some that will work for sure?
Thanks

Apple Rules,

I have had both 10.3.9 and 10.4.7 on my Wallstreet and the Buffalo WLI-CB-AG54 AirStation 802.11 b/g/a 54MBps Wireless PC-Card has worked perfectly using AirPort software.

The Sonnet Aria Extreme 54G Wireless CardBus Card will also work. Both cards are available here:

The AeroCard Extreme 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless Cardbus Card is also compatible. All of these cards use the Broadcom chipset.

Just make sure you update to the latest versions of AirPort.

Apple Rules,

The AirPort-compatible PC cards are no different than the built-in AirPort Extreme wireless cards regarding support for third-party routers; it will work just fine.

I just purchased the Motorola WN825G for $25 at digitalet. I plugged it into a Wallstreet running 10.3.x and it ran perfectly. It recognized the card as a broadcom and all worked as if it were an apple card.
