For those with iBooks that require Airport Extreme, this is a really
good option. For those of us who already have working 802.11b AirPort
cards, this would be buying a wireless card that could do WPA but
wouldn't gain me anything else over what I already have besides a lot
more hassle. (AirPort [non-Extreme] just works in Linux, with full
802.11b functionality including WEP.) It's somewhat of a waste of money
in that case.
Thanks for mentioning this, though; I will consider getting one anyway
since it might be useful for other computers, but more likely I will see
what progress prism54 wpa makes before debconf.
