USB Wireless support in Linux?

[Greg Hamilton]

There was a thread on MacSlash in the last few days discussing Airport 
cards. http://macslash.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/29/0924215&mode=thread

According to the discussion the Airport slot under the iBook keyboard 
has a PCMCIA style connector but different pin-outs and is definitely 
not compatible with PCMCIA cards. The Airport Extreme card is 32 bit, 
the original Airport card is 16 bit and the cards require a different 
antenna so they're not interchangeable. Your machine supports one or 
the other.
