I did try to investigate this question, and I found that actually the
miniPCI is not standard enough - there are mechanically incompatibles
miniPC cards.
I actually tried to find a miniPCI Wifi 802/11G Linux/Debian
comptabible card for my PowerBook 12" and did not found any. The best
advice I got was to go to a supported USB 8021.11G device. (I finally
gave up having Wifi un Debian on my PowerBook).
This was a few months ago. Mabe things changed, but I am pessimistic.
And unfortunately, I believe Apple don't care at all about its
Linux-running customers.
