The only reason an 802.11b wireless network would not work with the 
airport  card is if it employed some type of security, which of course 
defeats the purpose of a having public network. The compatibility list 
simply doesn't take Apple products into consideration probably because 
the person who made the list doesn't take Apple products into 
consideration.
