there are two basic ways -- either an internal pci card (which may be
difficult to find) or an external bridge.
i suspect finding a card that works in os 9 these days may be
difficult, so the easiest would be the latter with something like a
linksys wet-54 (netgear, dlink, etc. all make equivalents), which
converts anything with an ethernet ****t to wireless. you configure it
with a web browser and just connect it with a networking cable, and no
drivers are necessary.
