Hey, does anybody know about the current status on support for the AirPort
with iBooks/G4's? Because, see, I have one of each of those, and it'd be
nice to be able to use the wireless networking under Linux, not just MacOS
X and MacOS 9. I know there is a driver for the PCMCIA WaveLan card that
the AirPort is based on....
On another note (this question should probably be directed at a USB
mailing list, if such exists, but oh well): I have a USB hard drive that
uses an ATAPI system. It doesn't show up with the USB-SCSI drivers, in
other words, and even needs special drivers under MacOS 9. Any ideas on
that?
Thanks,
Robbie Thompson

Unfortunately, this will probably not work out of the box.
The wvlan_cs driver expects a PCMCIA card (and uses the PCMCIA card
services to detect and get the card's config) but the Apple Airport card
is not really one, it's plugged on an Apple custom IO bus which is not
handled by the pcmcia tools at all.
There is also need to tweak some undocumented IO bits here or there to
get it working.
I'm working on a port of the wvlan_cs driver to the Airport card, I'll
post more news when it's done.
Ben.
