I can confirm that the G cards actually run as Extreme cards.  
Thoroughput is a lot faster than the original Airport card. I say this  
because my gf's Pismo's wireless speed is much faster with her Belkin  
card than with the original Airport card, so she uses the Belkin card  
instead.

Did you get my email about the Cisco 340/350 series cards being  
strictly .11b cards nd not supporting WPA?
