Hi there! The Base Station and Card arrived yesterday. Under MacOS ... I have configured the Base Station. It worked. The Card could find the Airport Base Station. Well I have Problems understanding Airport System. MacOS didnīt help me because everything is hidden, so the user doesnīt have to know. I configured AirPort base station to be 192.168.1.11 ( it took my ethernet settings.) 192.168.1.10 is the gateway. Internet wasnīt a Problem, it worked immediately. the linux box worked as the router / gateway to the internet ... But now under Linux nothing works - nothing is configured for now ... ;) I have a little Problem with the Java Airport Base Station Configurator : it needs java ;) Have no Java installed, tried to install from deb ... there arenīt packages - ok downloaded tar.gz but doesnīt work. Are there inofficial debian java2 packages ? Generally Iīm searching for documentation. Has anybody docu about: - getting the card to work - how does the base station work do i have to put the airport network in its own address range ? so do i have to put it to 192.168.2.0/24 and put it at a seperate network card ? want to make host to network vpn later ... my hardware is pismo with airport card ... kernel 2.4.9 ... aiport module loaded with modconf airport base station plugged into hub. gateway ( x86 ) ... with nat to the internet ... network is 192.168.1.0/24 thanks for your help ... cu, michael
