I'm trying to get my airport card working on my ibook 800Mhz G3. It used
to work fine, in multiple locations with my 2.4.25 kernel on my ibook
500Mhz! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong -- I've installed wireless
tools. I expected to see "hermes" and "orinoco" listed in lsmod, but if
I try to insmod these they can not be found.
Help much appreciated.
