Do any PCMCIA Cards allow for N speeds with Airport Extreme?

Hello. Last week I thought I read a comment that a D-Link card might be compatible and provide N speed with the new Airport Extreme. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the link to confirm the model number of the card. Does anyone know if this is possbile?

Thanks

PC, Windows XP

Any draft N card should work just fine.

Thank you for your comment. It was my understanding that with Draft N, it was difficult to mix different manufacturers and acheive N speeds. Is this not the case. I ask my original question because I am using a Windows XP machine but would like to be able to acheive N speeds if possible.

Thanks

Yes and no. I believe that any gear that is labeled as Draft N should play well together. Where things get dicy is when you mix different speedboost technology and things like that together.
