On the subject of Macs, perhaps you can help me.
One of my friends has been a longtime Mac user, and has a Powerbook
G4. She
has recently also bought a desktop PC, which she is very pleased
with. She
is due to get a wireless broadband connection soon, and would
obviously like
to be able to have both machines connected at the same time. I
thought that
these Macs had an Airport (?) card built in, but the system
information
thingy doesn't list it. OK, there must be a slot for it so it can
go in like
the PCMCIA card in my PC, but I couldn't find anything.
So how does one add a wireless broadband card (or whatever magic
Macs use)
to a Powerbook G4?
Should be in there already, simple as you said.
Have her go into Network Preferences.... in the "Show" drop-down
window, select "Network Port Configurations". One of the items in
the list should be "Airport". If there is no checkmark next to it
that means it is disabled (and wouldn't be visible in the other
configuration pages).
