Hmmmm, I don't know if we should call it an issue. It just isn't part of
AirPort for OS X yet, much like the administration tool wasn't available
with the initial release of OS X.

I don't know who might be working on the driver right now. I've did a
little bit of exploratory work a few months ago, but then "lost" my ABS,
so I had to put that on the backburner. Hiroshi doesn't work on the
driver anymore, I think. He certainly didn't make any update over the
last year or so, although I'm not sure since I did try his driver
sometime last year and it didn't work with my more recent ORiNOCO
(WaveLan) card.
I started working with Hiroshi released code, but I also contemplated
using part of the code that has been used to write the ORiNOCO driver on
OS X, using the NE2000 example that is provided with the Lantern DDK.
That's all I can say about that right now...
