A fellow I know was having trouble connecting his PowerBook G4 w/Airport (non-Extreme model) to the public lib's 3COM 3CRWE60092A a.k.a. "3Com� 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point 6000". He could see the AP in the Airport menu, but when he selected the network, he got a profoundly vague error message about having trouble connecting. The password was confirmed, several times by several people there, with no joy.
In the documentation handed to him, Macs are not mentioned, but being an 802.11b devices, shouldn't this be a slam-dunk?
Other have mentioned that there may be some issues with something called "short RF preamble".
Any help decyphering this situation (such that the library IT person can understand it) would be greatly appreciated.
