Apples Airport Extreme uses regular PC cards similar to how Wireless 
Driver works. All you have to do is to add support for your PC Card to 
use Apples Airport Extreme driver. To do it edit the Info.plist file 
inside /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirport2.kext/Contents/ folder 
and add your PC Card name to the list.

<key>IONameMatch</key>
	<array>
		<string>pci106b,4e</string>
	</array>

You should add another string with your PC Cards name and then save the 
file. It should then recognize the card as a Airport Extreme card and 
work as an Apple built in card. To get the name of your card you have 
to insert it in the PB. Then run this command in the console.

ioreg -l | grep pccard
