[MLB-WIRELESS] dwl-520 + Powermac 6360 + Debian = AP

[Duncan Robertson]

Well I think they were Apples entry level cheapo box of the time? But
because of that the use of (some) generic PC parts make them quite
compatible with open source software (drivers). I remember getting Linux
up and running on these was tricky but I am not an Apple person. Future
installs (I have access to a few of these old clunkers at next to
nothing) will be done via "dd".
