question: does your ibook have slot for original airport card, and if so does it also have the good antenna that is built in to the lid ? although i have a pccard wireless for my powerbook i know it does have both of those (pismo, 2000), if i got airport card i would maybe have better signal/reception. otherwise, i have found some weather foggy or low clouds they say reflected signals it is drowned out in the noise.
i had tried some usb thingy and it didn't work for me then either but it may have been just my weak linux skills. chipset in my present card is intersil 2.5, it works with standard driver, no special(*). well i did actually install debian with the wireless connection as for my net install. so the driver was auto installed. if you can carve out some free space somewhere you might just try that -- just boot up a fairly recent netinst or buscard and see if it auto detects... (*) although there are now intersil drivers, actually two packages in etch alternatives, it uses the orinoco driver. for those package i too feel like i could use a walk through. as in much here recent documentation is thin these days.for my setup is pretty primitive i have to type : iwconfig eth2 essid <name>;dhclient eth2 --- sputnick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there. > > I'm looking for a supported chipset whith my debian > etch ppc. > I tried during one month to configure a DWL-G122 > from d-link without > result.
