I purchased an AEBS yesterday at the Apple Store but it seems to be labeled with the Japanese name for Airport: AirMac.

I suspect it's just a mistake with the labeling (everything else is labeled correctly), but if it WAS a unit meant for the Japanese market, will it still work in the US?

I have never read anything stating a difference. The only country I ever hearing had a problem with the tech used in the Airport was France. Well let us know if you notice anything weird.

Japan authorizes extra channels that are not allowed in the U.S. and Canada.

Yes, the FCC does come looking for this sort of thing; I'd take the card back and ask for one that's legal in the U.S.
