Orinoco WaveLAN Silver card works in Power Mac G4 with Debian Etch
I had no expectation that it would work, but I decided to shove my trusty Orinoco WaveLAN Silver PCMCIA 802.11b wireless networking card into the meant-for-Airport-only slot in my Power Macintosh G4/466 running Debian Etch. I connected the antenna wire. I booted Debian. I opened the Desktop -- Administration -- Networking tool. There it was, eth2, my wireless card. One problem: Since the Orinoco WaveLAN Silver card is quite a bit longer than the Airport card this slot was meant for, there's no way I can even close the case of the G4 while using the Wi-Fi card.
