ibook G4 and Airport Extreme
 

I recently bought an iBook G4 and it comes with the new Apple Aiport Extreme wireless card. I decided to install Debian on it. Unfortunately I couldn't find a Linux driver for the Airport Extreme wireless NIC...

1) Is there a way to install this card on Linux? If so, how?

2) If the Airport Extreme is not supported is there any other card that I can add which is linux compliant?

3) If none of the above is possible, is there any USB card that work on my iBook?


I know that the old Airport wireless NIC, works fine under Linux but unfortunately it doesn't fit on the new iBooks.


My setup is as follows:

Apple iBook G4 1.33Ghz
512 RAM
40Gb HDD
Aiport Extreme 802.11b/g
Running Debian (latest)

Any help is greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance!

I've never used mine with linux since I never saw a reason to replace osX (Tiger 10.4.3) 'cause it comes with a terminal, a compiler and X11 but I can tell you from trying to run kissmac on it that the newer airport card's manufacturer won't release specs for it that there is no open source driver for it and the osx driver can only do basic things (no sniffing or injection). AFAIK there is no other card that fits that slot and since the ibook doesn't have any pcmcia slots you're kind of stuck with one of those usb things. just curios but why did you decide to put linux on your mac? I haven't seen much point as it's very linux like and plays well with my mostly linux network. Ive got gentoo's portage installed on it so I can get most of my favorite linux apps but still run the mac ones (I think there is something like apt-get that works under osx too)
