Airport and G3 Blue & White

My brother has two Macs. A G4 Sawtooth and a G3 B&W. There is no possibility to put an Apple AIrport card in a G3 Blue and White.
Is there a way for wireless internet with both computers. He plans to buy an Airport Express with Airtunes. (Perhaps can the problem be solved of he buys a 2nd base station and connects this one to the ethernet port of the G3. Or am I wrong?)
TIA

You might want to try this if you want a USB solution, 802.11b

If you want an ethernet solution that is more expensive, 802.11g

The airport exreme base station is $50 more than that. Good luck on your choise.

I had the same question, how to airport enable a Blue and White G3. I used a PCI card from macwireless:

Just open the side of you G3 and pop it in. Works perfectly. The G3 thinks it has a real airport card in, no new drivers required.
