The Apple Store Sells it for $1.99 I believe. I am also interested in it but still not sure if it will work on mine. I have the Intel 2Ghz Intel Core Duo and have heard conflicting reports on whether it will work. Not really worried at this point since my router only supports g anyways.

thats the software which contains drivers that enable draft-N.
the cards and the software are available on the online Apple store.

Edit: Just realized these cards aren't advertised as N capable, because they need the enabled to expose that functionality.
Thanks bro - did you bother reading that link rickthomas posted?
Its capable of N, just not officially advertised.
Hopefully you will understand this:
They do NOT make N cards for MBP Rev 1. There is a known workaround which allows you to use the original G card from the Mac Pros with the applied N enabler.
Well, I guess you can pay 3x more if you wanted

Edit: Just realized part number is the same. So take it for what its worth.
it's because the parts are identical
when the core 2 duo computers came out there were advertised as 802.11g cards and once the new extremes came out apple released that software update.
the card you are looking at is identical, buy an advertised G card, update it to N via software update. apple doesn't sell a standalone card advertised as N
so there you go, it'll work. sorry if that's no good enough for you bro
