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.
