Just thought I'd mention the GPL alternative to Linuxant's
Driverloader.  It's called ndiswrapper
(http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net).  I think there's another one
called madwifi that might be a fork of the ndiswrapper.  madwifi claims
to work with freebsd also.

I've been toying with the idea of somehow thunking the ndiswrapper
program through the qemu cpu emulator so that I can run this wine-based
driver on my powerbook (airport extreme) on the powerpc architecture.
