This may be a very naive comment on my part :) but wouldn't it be  
simpler and more powerful to write something like for the Win32  
wireless drivers in x86 Linux? e.g. thunk the necessary pieces to  
load a Darwin kernel module for Airport Extreme directly into a Linux  
kernel (or a userspace driver that passes packets over tun/tap). Then  
there's no need to run a copy of OSX or anything.

The PCI proxying looks like a great hack though :)
