The Apple branded Airport card has a Broadcom chip on it. So it is really a Broadcom card branded by Apple.

Go to the Apple Logo in the menu bar and select About this Mac then More Info then System report. Or open Applications then Utilities and then System Info (which give you the same thing as above). Then scroll down to Network and then click on WiFi.

This is what you will see.

Or something very similar
