   Apple's products work with a number of other vendors' wireless LAN
products, such as Intel-based laptops equipped with appropriate
802.11-based PC Card or PCI bus products. Apple's AirPort Base
Station and Client Card have also been certified by the Wireless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (Wi-FiTM) for interoperability with
certain other vendors' IEEE 802.11b products:
