Hi, Frank! This problem is only with the new (Airport extreme) cards which fit the new powerbook models. all ibook2 models need an airportcard, which works perfectly under linux. (i am writing this email lying on a couch in my livingroom using an ibook2 linux and airport)
what you have to do: compile a kernel with airport-support get wireless-tools (apt-get install wireless-tools) after booting your new kernel type: /sbin/modprobe -k airport /sbin/ifdown eth0 /sbin/ifconfig eth1 (your_ip) up /sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid (your_SSID) /sbin/iwconfig eth1 key (your_wep_key) /sbin/route add default gw (your_gateway_ip) i used this excellent site: http://www.pl-berichte.de/t_hardware/airport.html (it is in german) but there are many others bye clemens On Fri, May 02, 2003 at 09:36:57PM +0200, Frank Gevaerts wrote: > Hi, > > I am thinking about buying an airport card for my ibook2 (or is it 3?
