Check out ral(4) and acx(4) man pages. Maybe bwi(4).

It's better to know end user's point, to avoid different
bugs and problems. bwi(4) is badliest choice, as it's totally
based on reverse engineering.

I already have bcm-based integrated card, and it's
loss when far from access point.

If ever looked into sys/arch/macppc/conf/GENERIC you should
notice there is not too much choice wrt tested wireless drivers.

For this crap (bcm4318 as Airport Extreme Card) and current driver
the 'far' is 2-3 meters :)
There aint such problems with native Mac OS X, as it has original
proprietary driver.

My foolishness, as using custom kernel config long ago.
