hmm well I had problems getting my airport driver from ben's site to compile when I got my airport card for my same model pismo, however I was using it with 2.4.*, anyway I posted a quick hack of a patch to linuxppc-dev list that would allow trhe thing to compile and be used, so I have been using that hapily since. You may want to have a look back in that mailing list's archive and use the patch or not, the two changes were pretty obvious. The change from using dev->name = s; to strncpy (dev->name, s, strlen (whatever)) is a 2.4 ism, the other thing was just something stopping it from building, anyway good luck.
