ExpressCard/34 WIFI 802.11 networking cards

For reasons which I wish not to delve into, I'd like to have an additional wifi card for my macbook pro. Immediately I thought to use ExpressCard/34, but after some research all I can find is one that is made by Dell (see link below). So my question: Does anybody know of a supported 802.11 Wifi ExpressCard? The Dell looks like what I need, but would it work on my MBP C2D? Thanks in advance.

Hello. Not really knowing your exact situation I would not recommend getting another wifi card. Many reasons. 1 being that it will probably not be compatible with Mac OS X so there will be no way to use it. 2 would be it is made by dell and I have seen people use dell cards in other macs with no luck. I would wait until there are more cards that are specifically designed for OS X. Good luck.
