is an airport extreme card compatible with a linksys wireless "g" router?
I ask because the actual Extreme card looks pretty proprietary.

It should be compatible.
But it might not actually work. Be aware, that the 802.11g protocol has not been standardized by the IEEE yet. So there might be incompatibilities, thought not entirely to the fault of Apple.

actually, the reason i ask is because people come into my work asking if the linksys will work with their extreme cards because we dont sell the base station. Some of my co-workers say it will, some say it wont, but just to be safe i have been telling them to go with the extreme base station.
Just trying to settle the argument 😀

That's too bad - and a bit unusual. Usually, managers want their employees to know the products they sell.
Are you sure you can use a display model? Or use the argument I put forth above?
unfortunately, linksys made the display in our store, and all the routers are non-working display models, that are there just for show
