<Apple Apologist Mode> I don't know if Apple would even if it could, but they didn't make AE themselves. The reason the original Airport works so well in Linux is the card they chose had a supported chipset in it. The AE card's chip is Broadcom's, and has Broadcom's intelectual property in it. </Apple Apologist Mode> I don't know that Apple would bother publishing specs even if they could, but I'd put money on them not being able to due to them not being theirs, but Broadcom's. Apple may not be very helpfull in this case, but Broadcom is the real culprit. -- Michael Moore ------------------------------- www.stuporglue.com -- laptop-testing-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/laptop-testing-team
