    madwifi has drivers that will work with 802.11n, atheros-based cards. However, you will only achieve 802.11g (54mb) speeds (the OS does not support 802.11n at this time).

    According to this thread, these Ubuntu mac users are using another driver based off of the ath9k source. Apparently, this driver is capable of 802.11n. How true this statement is, I don't know. However, I may give it a shot.
