Topic says it all. Want to try my wireless setup by swapping out the regular Airport card out of a TiBook 667 into a 12" AlBook. Will it work?

Thanks...

The slots for Airport and Airport Extreme cards are physically and electrically completely different.

If you want Airport Extreme (802.11g) speed in the TiBook, you can get an 802.11g Cardbus card for it.
