This is kind of off topic from your wireless questions, however seeing that you have the same set up as I do I have a couple of questions. What did your 1400 start life as? 117, 133, or 166? The reason I ask is that the Sonnet G3/400 I have makes the machine crash whenever I try and turn on the extension for the backside cache. Some have suggested that it might be the difference in the 117 logic board vs that of the 133 and 166. Have you ever had any problems with the machine crashing due to the Sonnet extension? What version of the extension do you use? I have a 117 upgraded to a Sonnet G3/400 running 9.1, the original 750MB HD, and 54MB RAM. I have 64MB, but the 8MB Apple Module crashes with both of the piggybacked 24 chip modules in (maybe logic board related too??). I have a Dell Truemobile 1150 for wireless purposes just on a side-note to go back to your original topic.
The reason I ask is because I don't see many people with the G3/400. Instead I see people with the 366 and 466 models. Thanks for any answers you may be able to provide.
If it crashes when the extension loads it might be a bad L2 cache on the upgrade card. I had a 117 that was upgraded with a 333 and the cache went out. After a two-month replacement cycle I got a 466 from Sonnet. Try contacting them, I think they are guaranteed for life.
