wifi driver under MOL

Dear All,

I dont understand fully how Mac Over Linux works w.r.t. MacOSX kernel
code (running in "supervisor" mode, at the processor level), in
particular accessing IO devices.

I would guess that each supervisor machine instruction is simulated by
the MOL linux kernel module.

This brings me to my main question, is it (or would it be possible) to
run the MaCOSX Aiport2 driver for the Wifi 802.11G broadcom chip
inside my new PowerBook (12", 1.33GHz)?

Could I realisticaly hack the MOL kernel code to make it possible?

Wifi is the main reason I am still booting MacOSX (10.3) - otherwise I
would only run Linux (Debian/Sid, with a plain 2.6.6 kernel compiled
by me)

Regards.
