That Linksys device is a router, not a card.

Also, the original Airport cards used chips made by Lucent/Agere, not Broadcom. They are known in the wireless biz as the Hermes chipset. They were used by a number of vendors. The Dell TrueMobile 1150, for example, is essentially an Orinoco, and will be recognized as such by the Mac OS. The Airport drivers will work automatically; no need for third-party hacks. Cards based on other chipsets (e.g., Prism, Prism II, etc.) will require manual installation of drivers. AFAIK, only Lucent-based cards will be Plug-'n'-Play in OS9.
