Try it out on one of your Mac laptops and see if it recognizes it as an AirPort card. If it doesn't that could be your problem. I don't think that AirPort has very good compatibility with non-airport (Lucent/Orinoco) hardware. Another option might be to try out DHCP instead of Static IP. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
