MOL controlling Airport Extreme

[dojothemouse at mac.com]

In my completely uninformed opinion the best way to make the Airport 
Express work in Linux and work correctly is by adapting and extending 
justeport ( http://nanocrew.net/blog/apple/revairtunes.html ) from Jon 
Lech Johansen.

It's illegal to use Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware, and it's illegal to 
circumvent encryption for the purpose of violating copyright. So I 
think you're *#@$ed either way. But justeport should be faster.

That is all.
