AirPort Card

Background

The original model, known as simply AirPort Card, was a re-branded Lucent WaveLAN Gold PC card, in a modified housing that lacked the integrated antenna. It was designed to be capable of being user-installable. It was also modified in such a way that it could not be used in a regular PCMCIA slot (At the time it was significantly cheaper than the official WaveLAN Gold card). An AirPort card adapter is required to use this card in the slot loading iMacs.
