Frank,
	If the AirPort card is AirPort Extreme (802.11g), you have very little 
hope.  The Broadcom chipset is a big hurdle for any open source OS; I 
don't know of any BSD or Linux that has that yet.  If it is one of the 
old AirPort (802.11b) cards with the Prism chipset, maybe there's a 
way, but it's beyond my knowledge.
