Hi there, I think the Airport (not Airport Extreme) can only handle WEP encryption, not WPA encryption. That's because the hardware of the Airport (not Airport Extreme) only knows 802.11b, that means only WEP and not WPA.
Also, I think you can't install Airport Extreme in a iBook G3. iBook G3 means Airport iBook G4 means Airport Extreme Greetings, -- Pierre Bauduin Linux enthusiast since 1996 Linux registered user #64711 Debian GNU/Linux user 2008/1/27, stuart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Hi there Guys, > > I'm having hassles getting my ibook's wireless airport card to connect to > our home wireless network. > I'm running gentoo on the ibook (this, after my debian prooved too slow on > it...,anyway moving on). > Its a G3 500MHZ(which runs beautifully with KDE btw). > The network I'm trying to connect to is a WPA protected network.
