I just got a brand new Linksys WPC54G Wireless G notebook adaper for my PCMCIA bus card slot for my G3 Prismo Firewire 500 mhz power book,it shows as a airport,probably because it uses the same chipset,so i enter a 128 bit wep encryption key,it gives off the following error"There was an error joining the airport network"blah blah blah" then it has 2 options,"try again or ok" i hit retry again several times to no evail,i changed the setting to several configurations,nope....nuttin....notta...zip...zilch -_-
now as i read about airport within mac os x help docs,it keep mentioning a airport base station,i'm guessing that these chipsets that run in macs,only work with a airport wireless base station access point and not on a linksys wireless router (which is the one i am trying to connect too at work) or a netgear wireless router(which is my wireless router i have home? I know the wep key is correct because i'm on the AP in question right now with my dell laptop,so could somone be as so kind to explain to me what is going on? I am new to macs,i have this G3 500mhz powerbook and 2 power mac G4 450 mhz as starter machines,i am getting the hand of this mac stuff slowly but surely.
