    Yes, this should work ok. Before I installed our Netgear WiFi router, I test-ran the AA1 for a few days connecting wirelessly to the AirPort card installed in my Mac mini (which in this config temporarily acted as the 'Airport Base Station').
    Worked fine, the only limitation was that I couldn't get WEP/WAP to work properly, but that was a limitation of OS X sharing its Internet connection.

    I connect to my Airport Extreme very easily and can even print to the usb connected printer.

    Here a very stabile connection between AAO Linpus and two Apple Airport Express, 1 AE as WDS. WPA2 key.

    It's a standard protocol, so (in theory) every wireless router must work.

    I connected to the apple stores wifi whilst in meadowhall, so I imagine the laptop has no problem connecting to their wifi.
