Re: Fwd: Re: Airport Extreme Linux support [was: Apple iBook G4 & GNU/Linux (Debian) compatibility?]
I had just thought about that yesterday too !
Having the airport extreme card used by macosx under mol and using the mol
machine as a gateway could probably be done. One would probably have to code
some bits to let macosx see the airport card through mol though, because for
the moment, macosx doesn't see the airport card.
On the same subject but on another front, the broadcom chipset used by apple
for the airport extreme is also used in the Linksys WAP54G wifi access point
... which runs under linux. This of course means there is a kernel module that
drives the chip, and thus that either Linksys or Broadcom have code some
driver for it. It makes me angry to think they would have gone that far and
stopped there without considering their customers who care about running linux
on their apple hardware.
And thanks to the list for all the information I found here to have a nice
working AlBook (except of course 3D, sleep and ... airport) :)
