Linux with iBook and Apple Airport Card?

Post by Don » Thu, 13 Jul 2000 04:00:00



I would like to know if it is possible to install Linux on an
iBook, and be able to use the airport card?

I noticed on the Lucent Wavelan site there are drivers for Linux
on PC x86, but I'm still a newbie to Linux, and would have no
clue where to begin.

Also, is there an alternative to yaboot for iBook?  Would BootX
work?  I tried an install with Yaboot, and Yellow Dog Linux.
Being a newbie to linux and all, it was a scary installation. I
was in the open firmware changing all kinds of stuff. I finally
zapped it back to default, and deleted Yellow Dog.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

1. Apple Airport & Lucent WaveLAN - Airport Freezing

I just got my RH6.1 machine working with my Apple Airport. Everything
works but after some 5 minutes or so the airport will "freeze", with
all lights on green. This has happened twice tonight in about 10
minutes of prolonged use.

I am running the lastest 1.1 software from apple.

Is anybody else seeing this kind of behaviour? btw it does not do this
with the iBook.

Thanks

Donald
