Yep. I was so obsessed of keeping everything as real as possible with my previous build, lol. I remembered buying a real airport extreme (pulled from a macbook) and putting it in my friends laptop. He actually did not need it, but I convinced him. It worked perfectly and he is happier with the results. I just had a minor problem when using the XP drivers. I had to edit the .inf file for the driver to detect the device - very easy step.

Since you have a Wireless N router (or have a PCIe-x1 slot in your mobo), maybe you could look into this combo:

You will be using a Real Airport card and take advantage of Wireless N functionality. I really wanted to do this but it is too expensive for me. If you want to try this, make sure you can return it to them, just incase. I'm pretty sure you will find some there in Australia. Also, most of the ebay stores ship to your country.

I was told by some hackintosh gurus that this will work since it directly connects to the pci express and you don't need drivers for the adapter. Some gurus are actually using this for their desktops. Just incase it fails, you can always use the minipcie adapter for your laptop and use the minipci-e adapter for a Windows desktop machine. Just my 2 cents.

Cheers
