Check The Powerbook Guy. You won't find new, but he has a 90 day warranty, $89.95. He's been around for a long time, has a good reputation. I've dealt with him in the past without a problem.

This might work. I'd do research on this one before purchase. http://www.smalldog.com/product/46804/atfgc

I'm pretty sure this will work
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/aria_extreme.html

here it is again at a better price http://www.smalldog.com/product/45405
I bought a similar product from this manufacturer Sonnetech. It was a PCI card for my now deceased G4 Power Mac and it worked and was not why the Mac went belly up. If you go to their website you will see they make a determined effort to be Mac friendly.

eBay has people claiming to sell airport cards all the time.

Amazon.com Supposedly some people selling never used cards but at a premium.
Others at the going rate of about around $70 to 90. http://tinyurl.com/2kawth

USB alternative. I'd do research on this one http://tinyurl.com/322tvb

Creative Googling found these results.

Which PowerBook G3 do you have?

The first 3 models did not have a slot for an Airport card (only the Pismo model did), so you would need a PC card for wireless capability. I used a D-Link brand card in a 2nd gen WallStreet that performed very well. USB devices may or may not work well depending on the OS you are running. Just some food for thought...

I have a spare "original" 1st gen AirPort card for sale if you find it'll work with your PB. Looking to get $75 for it.
