If I get in a position to help in any way, let me know. I'm no coder,
but I have a Farallon card in my wife's PB and a D-Link 650 in my PeeC,
I'll be happy to yank one and slap it in my 2100. What WAP you use
shouldn't make any difference as long as you follow the WiFi guidlines.

I started working on this. I even got his own source. However, the code
and
the files he used are somewhat different than the source used to build
the
Mac OS X driver for the same card (which isn't supported under OS X).
That
code comes from the Linux distribution.

So, I'm no expert, but I think I'll have to rewrite most of the code if
we
want the driver to support most recent versions of AirPort, not only
1.2.1,
and I'm thinking that starting from Hiroshi's code wouldn't take me very
far.

BTW, I have found somebody in my area which would sell me her AirPort
base
station for a FW enclosure and an undisclosed amount of money. I might
be
able to meet her this weekend for the trade. If so, I might be able to
resume work next week or so.
