Ha!  I have purchased mini WiFi cards in the past and stuck them in
laptops but those have always been the card sanctioned by the laptop's
manufacturer.  I guess it had not occurred to me that WiFi cards must
conform to some standardized interface and hence be at least moderately
interchangeable.

Here is hoping that such an open firmware day arrives soon!
