IIRC the Airport drivers will install only on G3 processor powerbooks. Though you may be able to extract them from the installer using Tome Viewer and then drag-drop them manually to the Extensions folder. Anyone done this? If it works, at that point it's a question of which software you find easier to set up: airport or the orinoco sw. Both have fairly detailed explanations/guides on how to configure the sw, so you might want to try both. Good luck. Chris -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
