[NTLK] Internal airport card =Sony card = AIBO wi-fi card.

[Stephen Rudy]

One of the reasons these Sony cards are hard to find is that they are the same as the ones used in the Sony AIBO robotic dogs just with a different sticker slapped on 'em. The real AIBO Sony wi-fi cards are even harder to find so most folks use the Sony laptop card. Yes. The antenna is very svelt. I put my card in my mother-in-law's apple icebook maybe 6 years ago. I'm not sure where that laptop is and I'm not sure where the antenna is either (not required inside the laptop.) My mother-in-law is very "southern" I can recall her drawling, "Oh do you think the little robot dog will be mad that we put parts of him into my laptop? I sure hope not."

Just an FYI reminder.
Airport cards are IMO basically a variant of an Orinco WiFi Cards.
There was a branded variant by SONY that also would fit in the Airport slot
of a Pismo (I own an example and it's also used in a Newton MP2000/2100)

It's a bit hard to find and sometimes very pricey.
