I cannot find this info in apple's page, and maybe it is because they don't have it.
Has the new 12'' PB a PCmcia slot or only slot for the Airport card?

The thing is that my wife has just sold her PC laptop and has a WI-fi card to fit into PCMCIA card slot. I think I will have to buy an Airport card.
thank you

Yeah, you'll have to buy an Airport Extreme card if you want wireless on a 12" PB. It costs $99. To get a PCMCIA slot you'll have to move up to a 15" PB, for $400 more.
