Thanks Bruce!  You kind of answered my question. Actually the post by Mike
Baker also answered my question.  His problem was a scenario I'm trying to
avoid by going PCI.  However the card in question says that it has OS X
drivers whereas Mike's problem looks like he doesn't have the driver.

Now does Airport Extreme (latest version) play nice with 3rd party wireless
adapters (PCI or USB)?
