I haven't checked anything newer than 18 months, but Apple hardware
for a long time needs proprietary b43 firmware installed by the user
and it's completely non-obvious that this needs to be done and how.
The documentation in general is incredibly verbose. So it's a "here
baby, learn to swim" <toss> kindof experience. And then the reward is
no 802.11n support.

Ultimately the user would have to go down the road of entirely
proprietary drivers for such wireless cards. They still seem to be
rather prolific.
