Don't do this.
The Airport Express disables its LAN port if it is setup to be a
client on a wireless network. The only way an Ethernet port will work
connecting to a wireless network is if you use WDS and set it to be a
relay/remote base station. And I don't think that network is going to
support WDS as its kinda an Apple extension to 802.11g.
It took me ages to figure out why I couldn't bridge with one. I
turned my two Airport Expresses into a giant WDS network and it
finally connected the ethernet port.

while i understand you are after an airport card, another option is

it plugs into the ethernet port to provide wireless access.
the price may end up very similar, judging by ebay listings of the
original airport cards
... plus it saves you the hassle and has a warranty.
What a brilliantly simple solution. I can't believe I've never
considered
this as an option. Another added benefit is that instead of getting
11MB/sec
like with the original Airport cards you would have 54MB/sec.
