It seems there are some bsd people messing around with airport extreme. I'm wondering if freebsd macppc will be able to make use of this. Are you guys aware of this? How far is this along? Usable? Please email me back o my address. I might sign up to the list just to keep abreast but I'm not signed up yet. I found the following interesting: Second see: http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archi...2/msg01000.html "Has anyone looked into porting over the changes made to NetBSD (and subsequently FreeBSD) that allow Airport Extreme cards in the newer Apple notebooks (and possibly other 802.11g equipment) to connect to HostAP systems? Apparently, they fail to con"nect properly because the 802.11g cards advertise bit rates higher than the standard 802.11b ones, and just cut the connection, resulting in a association failure. I'm willing to do any testing necessary to get this working Thanks, Ben -- It is ok to be ignorant in some areas, but some people abuse the privileg" and http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archi...7/msg00807.html "It worked with the older airport extreme firmware but not with the current firmware.
