Hi Paul: I have heard that work is being done on Airport Extreme; that is, a driver is being developed for it. Other than that the only option (for those caring on a reasonable semblance of mobility is to acquire a PCMCIA card for which drivers already exist. A list is here:
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/hardware/devices.shtml The list also should include the Netgear WG511 and WG511T; How Tos exist for those cards as well, although I haven't been able to get the WG511T up and running on my version of YDL 4.1 either. I've reported the details regarding it to TSS, I'm not sure when a resolution to these issues will occur. Regarding KwifiManager, it already exists within YDL 4.1. You'll find it under Networking... Thanks for making me aware of it's existence. I normally prefer working in Gnome exclusively. But if I can get my card working and I have to live in KDE to do it... I'll tolerate KDE. Good Luck....
