The Nano USB and nNano USB are dongle-sized USB Wi-Fi adapters that are compatible with the PowerBook, iBook, iMac, MacBook, and MacBook Pro.

The nNano USB supports 802.11b, g, and n, and costs $59.95.

The PCI version includes an external tri-band antenna, and is compatible with the Power Mac G3, G4, and non-DDR2 memory G5 models. The PCMCIA CardBus version is compatible with PowerPC-based Macs that have an open CardBus slot. The PCI version costs $99.95, and the PCMCIA CardBus version is priced at $59.95.

QuickerTek's b/g Quicky CardBus supports 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks, and is compatible with PCMCIA-equipped PowerBooks. It is priced at US$49.95.

I have an older G4 MDD tower, and it only supports original Airport cards, which are hard to find, and only 802.11b. With the PCI version, I can get 802.11n in there. Nice.
