Hi!
As in topic, I've got a problem with Airport internal wlan card on my iBook. I've loaded the modules for Airport (airport, orinoco, hermes) but iwconfig won't show any ifaces with wireless extensions. Anyone got any ideas how to solve this?
iBook G4 12" with gentoo-dev-kernel-2.6.9-r9
Cheers!!! |

Will not work. The manafacturer of those aiport card refuses the release the specs, because of that, nobody can write a decent driver for this. |

| For clarity... the iBook G4 has an Airport Extreme. For now there are no drivers for Airport Extreme. The drivers you loaded are for the original Airport, which does work on linux. |
