On this page, you'll also find an Airport driver for the Apple Airport
card. It has been successfully tested with a Pismo powerbook, an iBook
and a G4 "Sawtooth". You need the latest kernel for it to work correctly,
and you should have this kernel's sources linked to /usr/src/linux in
order to compile it (it's downloadable in source form only). Useage is
similar to the wvlan_cs driver for the Lucent PCMCIA card, the interface
name is 'airport'.

Is the airport driver based on the latest wvlan_cs?  Your page indicates that
WEP is not supported, although the latest wvlan_cs does appear to support WEP.

It is based on it, but AFAIK, WEB doesn't work with the Apple base
station. It should be possible to use WEB between two airports on linux,
but I didn't try. What I meant on the page was a quick explanation on how
to get it working with an Apple Airport base station.

If its actually supported, then I'll be glad to fix the page ;)
