Mac Pro (early 2008) AirPort Extreme

[babboxy]

just bought a AirPort card at Fnac .. obviously sales staff had no idea if it would work in the new Mac Pro. in fact it doesn't.
I've done some search on the internet but I can't find much info.

well there's the following link but there's no picture so I'm not sure if that's what I need:

Why on earth didn't you order your New MP with the card in to begin with?

And to the commenter, I didn't get airport in my MP either, but that's because I'm an idiot and just assumed that it came standard when I got my stock model of the 2008 MP at the Apple Store. Yeah, I did all this research about what to get, what to order to upgrade (memory, storage), etc, etc, and the whole time I missed that apple's wireless revolution with the Apple TV, MacBook Air, etc had missed their pro workstation.

Anyway, I'm just gonna take mine in to the local authorized repair shop to do it, since the how to looks a bit tricky. Not that I couldn't do it--I've built my own PC's for years, but I'd rather not mess with the MP too much.

thanks... that was the instruction that I used to find out where to stuck the airport card I just bought. but I soon realized that this works only for last years model ... it's probably still done the same way but the airport card must have got an upgrade and it looks like it's smaller now.

so the question is WHERE TO BUY THE CARD ... can't find any info on the apple site either.
