Almost certainly you have an Apple Airport card in your computer. You |
| 4 |
just need to recompile your Kernel with Apple Airport support. |

-> Device Drivers -> Network device support -> Wireless LAN |
| 7 |
(non-hamradio) -> <*> Apple Airport support (built-in) |

An lspci as root will show that an Apple Airport card is available. You |
| 10 |
can then reconfigure it with iwconfig. |

NDIS is an API for NICs jointly developed by Microsoft and 3 Com. As you |
| 18 |
don't use an x86 based architecture, ndis-wrapper won't work. And you |
| 19 |
don't need it neither. |
