Actually, the first generation AirPort card uses a standard PCMCIA
connector, so you could connect one in a Wallstreet. However, since the card
expects an external antenna, You wouldn't be able to do much with it in your
Wallstreet.

That's not true.

AFAIK, there's only one generation of AirPort card. (Unless you mean AirPort Extreme to be a second generation... but that wouldn't be quite right.)

AirPort cards DO NOT have a PCMCIA connector. They have a CardBus connector. CardBus cards will not fit in PCMCIA PC Card slots. They are keyed differently. PC Cards will fit in CardBus slots, but CardBus cards will not physically fit in standard 16-bit PC Card slots.

The cards that were, at least, in the graphite AirPort Base
Station were Lucent Silver card. Apple didn't even remove the sticker on the
cards and these had, of course, the external antenna on the card itself as
opposed to the Apple AirPort ones...

WaveLAN silvers were the basis for the Graphite ABS, yes (and that explains why only 64-bit (or 48-bit depending on your interpretation) WEP is supported with them. The Snow ABS has an AirPort card in it, and it can be firmware upgraded (with AirPort 2.0, IIRC) to 128-bit WEP.
