The 54 Mbps AirPort Extreme shares the PCI bus with the boot ROM.
AirPort Extreme contains a media access controller (MAC), a digital signal processor (DSP), and a radio-frequency (RF) section. The card has a connector for the cable to the antennas, which are built into the computer’s case.
AirPort Extreme is compliant with the IEEE 802.11g standard. It transmits and receives data at up to 54 Mbps and complies with 802.11b-standard 11 Mbps systems, including all previous AirPort Card systems and base stations. For information about its operation, see “AirPort Extreme.”
Note: The 12-inch PowerBook G4 supports only the internal AirPort Extreme Card, not the original 802.11b internal AirPort Card.
