As for airport extream, is it that the drivers are still closed source? I've been looking into getting an original airport card but the prices on ebay are mad!!
There aren't even closed source drivers for linux, except for some embedded kit. The airport extreme is a broadcom based card, search for broadcom wifi linux and you should get some results, all of which say "broadcom won't release the specs". I believe that there is some work going on on a driver through reverse engineering, but I could be wrong, and if there is, it could take "some time".
