Why is my card detected as an ethernet adapter instead of an Airport card?
This is normal and to be expected. We wrote the driver this way because the IO80211Family is closed source and not well documented. There is more information available for “wired” adapters in Mac OS. The basic networking functions of your card will be handled by the OS, while wireless features are controlled with our NetworkSelector and nsGui utilities. Both utilities are currently under development and therefore are not expected to be fully operational.
