AP cards will not work in a PC card slot, Apple varied the pinout 
slightly so it won't work.

However (interestingly enough) PC card adapters will work in the AP slot, 
provided they share the same chipset with the original AP card. That 
group includes all those old 802.11b Lucent-chipset-based orinoco, 
Lucent, etc. Silver and Gold cards.
