Hi,
I'm using kernel 2.6.17-rc3 with wl_apsta.o firmware (also tried AppleAirport2)
on a 15" Powerbook G4 (PowerBook5,6) for my Broadcom 4306 chip.
I tried this using 54M & 11M rates on both WEP-protected and
unprotected networks and I always get the same result:
$ sudo ifconfig eth2 up
$ sudo iwlist eth2 scan
eth2 Scan completed :

Any help is appreciated...
