Effettivamente siamo ancora lontani dal risultato. Il driver ha
ancora molta strada da fare. Oggi Johannes Berg, su debian-ppc,
commenta cosi' la frase "we must wait", riferita a proposito del
driver:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Definitely.

A clarification: I managed to transmit two frames so far, and we have not
managed to receive any. Don't hold your breath. And you can be sure I'll
announce here when it actually does something useful.

Now, not that the people implementing this might not use some help with
reviewing... But please, be aware that this is cutting edge stuff and
might cut your kernel into pieces  ;)  Please don't complain on their
mailing list if you try this and something goes wrong. Please don't go
there posting that it recognises your Airport Extreme card -- the main
developers have one. etc.

It doesn't help if you post that. It might help if you have hardware that
it doesn't recognise yet and should (but make double-sure that it should,
all relevant Apple hardware should be recognised already).

If you're really interested in helping out, read their homepage, the
specs, and a bit of the mailing list archives, being on the specs IRC
channel helps a lot too.

Thanks,
johannes
