Chances are it's not a card with a Lucent chipset, which is the only thing supported in the AirPort slot.

You're not gonna hurt anything by trying, but I seriously doubt it'll work. (I have tried other cards in an AirPort slot, and the only other card that worked was a WaveLAN Silver card, the card that the AirPort card is based on.)

Do you know if this card still works under Panther? I have a 600MHz iBook running 10.3.6, and would like to know if such a card will work in it.
