the driver that, in my opinion, supports the most cards, is 'wi' in
*bsd. i also like the way you can control wireless networking in thes
operating systems ( it's very easy ), so you might want to look into
this if all else fails.. it should not be hard to dualboot openbsd with
osx. i assume you have yellowdog or something like that?
