I love my OSX based machine, infact I should use it more. Slowly I am finding good utils to do the things I would not normally use it for. Certainly not a bad operating system.

Re: [SLUG] USB Wireless Dongles
As far as I can see there are not many g cards supported by Linux. I run wireless using a DLink wireless PCMCIA card, using ndiswrapper and dlink windows drivers. I still cant get g support.

I believe Kevin is right Chris. I've not seen drivers for airport extreme, and this would be the only thing stopping me installing linux onto my PPC powerbook :) However if you want to loan my usb dongle (g) and test it before purchasing a similar unit then that can be arranged at the next event of slug I come too. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] USB Wireless Dongles
I think airport extreme is not supported under Linux like most 802.11g cards (except for prisim or orinoco) you are going to find it difficult to get 11g running on your laptop. > 'morning SLUGers, > > I have an iBook G4 which, on the weekend, at the codefest, nuked OSX > from in turn for ubuntu. > > Everything works so far except sleep (which I'm going to look at) and > the internal wireless (Airport Extreme).

[SLUG] USB Wireless Dongles
'morning SLUGers, I have an iBook G4 which, on the weekend, at the codefest, nuked OSX from in turn for ubuntu. Everything works so far except sleep (which I'm going to look at) and the internal wireless (Airport Extreme). Any support for airport extreme looks sucky, so I want to get a USB wireless dongle (there's no PCMCIA slot). Right now I've been borrowing a netgear MA111 which works quiet well, but it's only 802.11b, and if possible, I'd like to go 802.11g. So, has anyone come across any 802.11g ones that work under linux (remembering ndiswrapper is not an option under PPC). And, if not, any reccomendations for an 802.11b one. A small usb flash-drive style is preferred.
