Airport b cards work for both 9 and X.

Airport g cards probably work for X, only.

Third-party b cards work with 9 with the vendor-supplied driver. A  
fourth-party driver is required for b with X. That driver costs more  
than the card itself, and is locked to the card's MAC address, so  
should the card fail, the driver is toast, too.

Third-party g cards work with X with the vendor-supplied driver. The  
fourth-party driver may work, too, but my experience with that driver  
has been decidedly negative with whatever card was purported to be  
supported (I tried several, in trial mode).

Belkin Ver. 2000 cards are Broadcom and work with X as an Airport  
Extreme card. No vendor driver is required.

They do take the Cardbus slot, however, and not the Pismo's internal  
Airport card slot.
