I couldn't find this information anywhere, so i'm asking you: are
Darwin and MacOSX drivers compatible? I'm planning to buy an iBook
next week and I would like to use a Free (as in freedom) operating
system. Unfortunately, there's no Airport Express driver for anything
except MacOSX. If i could use that same driver in Darwin, my problem
would be solved. Is that possible?
Since you get a licensed Mac OS X version with your iBook, you could
copy the needed kext onto the Darwin installation. However, you would
have no way of configuring your driver, since there is no userland tool
available.
The free as in freedom aspect will likely not be met by Darwin, btw.
(searching the net will reveal lots of informations about that)
