I am ready for 3.10.  I would like to see working wireless on my MacMini and MacBook.  I also have five more MacMinis I would like to get up and running with MorphOS and hopefully make ready-to-run kits.

(Although, I'm not certain I like the idea of introducing 2.4GHz wireless into my environment when 5GHz works sooooooo damn well.)


Airport extreme is supported since quite while.
And it works well - at least on my Mac mini silent upgrade and okay on my Powerbook 5.6 (signal quaity is a bit weak there,  hence I stay with the Atheros pcmcia card which has a stronger signal quality - dunno if it's antennas or drivers which are better though)

While I am happy with 3.9 I am 3.10 ready as well ;-)

"Airport" is Apple's euphemism for wifi - there is no "airport chipset", just regular wifi chipsets from the usual vendors, different from model to model. For example, G4 mac minis typically have a BCM4306 chipset from Broadcom on the PCI bus.


Aren't all airport extreme cards from Apple's  ppc era broadcom 43xx based? I mean MorphOS supports Atheros 5000 and Broadcom 43xx. And the drivers for these chipsets are rather fine.
