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.
