Search around. Lenovo still sells them, although they are expensive through that channel, but you know that they'll be legit. I'm not sure what you mean by how much it would 'cost' to 'install' the WiFi card. I assume that you would do the installation yourself and that you would not charge yourself for the act of putting the card in the computer? If you wonder about the cost of the card itself, they are very cheap - like US$5.

As you search around for WiFi, make note of the part numbers supported by the ath5k and ath9k kernel modules and make sure that whatever you buy uses a compatible chipset:

(Make note of the "Supported Devices" section in ath5k and "Supported chipsets" in ath9k.
