Would this work on a motherboard?

I was taking a Apple Time Capsule router apart and it has a wireless net work card installed on the main board. Could this be used on a PC? http://images.anandtech.com/doci/4577/TCAE-2868.jpg

probably not due to bios

Bios what? It is just a mini wireless card. If you have the slot, it may work. Can't hurt to try.

PCIe cards for desktop computers are pretty standard. Just find a card with specs you like and it should work.

I didn't see the pic of the card from the airport before, it's designed for that device only I think.

I guess it may be proprietary for that unit. Would be nice to find a pci-e adapter to put it in for a pc with the 4 antenna hook-up.
