Seems like Apple is adding 64-Bit support to a number of Extensions - according to netkas blog, there will also be x86_64 addition on Intel GMA drivers on 10.6.2.

I have just bought a bcm4321 card :(
'
this is awesome it seems like Apple is doing it on purpose.. there supporting stuff we couldn't get to work.. like the ATi cards(new iMacs) and now the Atheros WiFi, which all of them arnt supported... come, give an ALC 860! lol
I would like to not have to use kismac to get wireless atheros 5006x:'(
i have also bought an dell1490, but havent installed it yet lol
I hope this kext supports my Atheros WiFi
