I just found a Dlink DWL-G520 wireless PCI card for about $30 at the local Tiger Direct outlet store. The store is in Orland Park, IL next to the Orland Square Mall. These were white-box items, marked as refurbs, and they had quite a few of them.
The HW version of this card is B3, but it works just fine. Recognised as airport on my 10.4.5 system with no patching, editing, or driver installs.

hah, hey colby, i live in orland park. good store. i simply traded my minipci intel pro 2200 card for a friends atheros, works great.
Good for parts, horrid for customer service and employee competance, for the most part.
hasnt tiger direct had a string of complaints recently? this is what i heard... i was going to buy some laptop sodimm memory from them but i heard that some of their latest batches were defective and decided to order online off newegg (better prices too 
).. ofcourse tigerdirect has been pretty decent in the past, i bought a 5200 off of them for $85 Cad (it was a while back...).
