Thanks all for now!
it survives badly. I don't know how kernel 4.5 worked, since I used it

Hi Lennart,

Well if it is, then manually doing:
modprobe airport
should detect the wifi on the new kernel.
It also means the 4.6 kernel in unstable ought to work automatically
again.
yes, a manual modprobe makes it work! I will test further next week how
well it does

Well you pretty much just don't. Life was hard before PCI/USB/etc when
things didn't have a nice way to detect present hardware. OpenFirmware,
and amiga autoconfig and I guess isa pnp worked too

Wolfram,
Could you please double check the following output from modinfo and
confirm this is the same issue as Debian #714345

The original AirPort (used in the G3 iBook (et.al) is not a PCI device I
think, so it should definitely hot show up in lspci (fix me?).
