I would not do this! The Apple card uses another firmware. It is 
similar but not identical. You will most likely damage your Airport 
Card.
Apart from this you will need to flash another firmware, than the 
normal (if i recall it right there are three different firmwares in the 
orinoco cards). So you will not be able use some modified Apple 
Upgrade.
