Anyone got a 802.11b PCMCIA card in a new 15" G4 PowerBook?

The word I got from from TerraSoft is that it doesn't work on the
new one:
The unfortunate thing is that AirPort Extreme doesn't use PCMCIA,
but Micro-PCI. There just aren't any Linux drivers for this
Not that I really *need* one of the new 15"-ers, but that's what
seems to be available. Apple hardware is so great for leftover/closeout
stuff. :-)
