well if you saw my thread I got a mac G4 for free from a friend, it has a slot in the bottom for an airport card from apple, (only supports apples wifi card)
I want to use my linksys wireless G access point router model wap54g
as a wireless internet connection to my other router, you guys got any ideas of how I could do this, because I don't know how.
what i need to do is plug my ethernet cord to my mac and then into the linksys router and receive signal from another router to my router and have internet somehow. I hope someone can help because I have no idea how to do this...

I think the second router has to be set up as a repeater. It might work that way, but you may have to connect an ethernet switch between the repeater and the iMac. Your router should support repeater mode; take a look around its web interface or the setup utility.
