[X4U] Do I need an internal Airport card?

[Paul Moortgat]

Ken,

That was the start of my question if an internal car would give me advantage of the present Airport Express I use now.  And it seems that it's the same.
Replacing the one with the same possibilities doesn't make sense, except it's inside and no more wires.
