You have to realise that the Mac will only work with cards that have  
the Broadcom chipset. Most cards out there have the Atheros chipset  
which is not compatible unless you get a driver to work with it. In  
my case I use a 3Com card 3CRPAG175 that is Atheros based, but there  
is a driver that can be downloaded from the 3Com web site that allows  
it to work with OS X. Or you can use one of the other cards (D-Link,  
Linksys, etc) and spend a little more to download the Orangeware  
drivers that are compatible with almost all Altheros cards. There is  
a list on the Orangeware site of all cards that have been tested and  
found to work with Orangeware software.

Actually the Altheros based cards are at least theoretically much  
faster then the Airport Extreme (Broadcom) cards when all the options  
are enabled.
