Actually, This isn't entirely correct.. The original airport card has a slightly different connector witha different 'lockout' pin, which prevents its use in a pcmcia slot. Furthermore it's got a certain 'resistor' (required by Apple of the OEM), placed across 2 pins which could cuase premature power supply failure in any PCMCIA slot that its installed into. It was designed that way to be uniquly "apple".....
That said, a standard PCMCIA card--such as RoamAbout (made by Cabletron), or a Cabletron, or a Lucent Silver, Orinoco, or Gold---all these will work perfectly on a Wallstreet and should work just fine with the Apple s/w.. I recently got a RoamAbout (think it was low $20's), and it's just as happy as can be in my Lombard's PCMCIA slot. Tom.
