It looks like I stumped the MacNet list with this question, so now I'll try you guys.
Which type of ethernet cable do I use to connect a non-AirPort-capable Rev B to an Airport Extreme Base Station: standard or crossover?
I'm on the Networking list and didn't see your question, only your follow up "thanks for nothing" email. Maybe the frequently misbehaving list servers ate it or something, because I'd think that a lot of people there would know this. Anyway I found your answer on Apple's site in the document linked and quoted below.

"A crossover cable is compatible but not required, since the base station automatically senses the cable type and adjusts the pinout signal accordingly."
Thank you, John. I must not have used the proper search terms. -- Sincerely, Dennis B. Swaney
