The "Airport" cards are a special version of a lucent card, with a lobotomized
interface of some sort, and no builtin antenna. They won't work in a regular
PC, and I have doubts that a regular card will work as the internal card in
a mac.
If you have a pccard slot, you can use a regular card in that slot.
