If you were to open up an original AirPort Base Station, you'd find
an off-the-shelf WiFi PC card inside -- since the AirPort card has a
custom, non-standard interface, there's no way to substitute it. (I'm
not sure about the later models of Base Station, but I would assume
you're not going to have any better luck.)
