Well, mine is a mini-PCI. I'd replace mine by one of a newer rev and
donate the old one if somebody can tell me where to buy a new mini-PCI

Seems to be a 4318. Keep in mind that this is not 100% supported, too.
What about a new airport extreme card from apple? I'll check whether it
fits and go for that if it does.
The airport has a special connector that only fits into apple hardware.
You could also buy an ipw2200. That works good, too.
FWIW, now that I found the problem associating with a Linksys WRT54G V5, I have been able to run my
Linksys WPC54G again using WPA-PSK. At startup, the following details are reported:
bcm43xx: Chip ID 0x4306, rev 0x2
bcm43xx: Number of cores: 6
bcm43xx: Core 0: ID 0x800, rev 0x2, vendor 0x4243, enabled
bcm43xx: Core 1: ID 0x812, rev 0x4, vendor 0x4243, disabled
bcm43xx: Core 2: ID 0x80d, rev 0x1, vendor 0x4243, enabled
bcm43xx: Core 3: ID 0x807, rev 0x1, vendor 0x4243, disabled
bcm43xx: Core 4: ID 0x804, rev 0x7, vendor 0x4243, enabled
bcm43xx: Core 5: ID 0x812, rev 0x4, vendor 0x4243, disabled
bcm43xx: Ignoring additional 802.11 core.
bcm43xx: Detected PHY: Version: 1, Type 2, Revision 1
bcm43xx: Detected Radio: ID: 2205017f (Manuf: 17f Ver: 2050 Rev: 2)
With the June 5 versions of the "bcm43xx: redesign locking" and "bcm43xx: preemptible periodic work"
patches applied to the 2.6.17-rc6 kernel, I am running with no problems. I ran 50,000 pings to my AP
with no losses and no duplicates. The only thing being logged is an occasional "TKIP: replay
detected" message, but they don't seem to do any harm.
Thanks for your efforts.
Larry
