For me, the magic incantation is "modprobe airport", and it shows the
version of the firmware. If it doesn't, you may try "dmesg" to have the
latest kernel messages. It's printed when the driver is loaded. So if
your airport is in your kernel, and not as a module, you should see it
during the boot process. You can read /var/log/dmesg in this case...
