I have used my Apple AirPort "Snow" with my Newton MessagePad 2100 and
Buffalo/Melco 802.11b card. I'm now using them with a NetGear Zing quite
successfully (though you have to disable auth and force the guest network
to 802.11b).

The trick is manual IP addresses. Easy for me to say, but know your IPs,
subnet, and DNS.
