The AirPort base station contians within it a "silver" wavelan PCMCIA
card.  The regular wavelan cards you buy work well with it.

I happen to have a Mac around to configure it, but I understand that
the Karlbridge software for Windoze will configure it as well (except
for some features such as the modem dialout).

I currently have linux on my laptop and it works well with the
wavelan.  I suspect the wavelan driver for FreeBSD works just as well.
