Kristian:

Your situation looks very much like mine.  The config files are 
practically identical.  I have an iBook2 12 inch, Airport not-extreme, 
and OS X wireless works just fine.  I'm seeing exactly the same results 
you report with YDL 3.0.  I've been communicating with YDL on my 
problem.  I sent them a detailed and uncensored step-by-step log of my 
wireless config process including cut and pastes of all command line 
dialogue.  It  appears that at least some iBooks simply don't work with 
wireless.  Last week they were supposed to devote some time to the 
issue.  I have not heard any results yet.

I'm trying to be patient.  This is the only gripe I have about YDL 3.0 
(really cool, to my mind).  However, it's a killer if it can't be fixed. 
  I may be donating this machine to a college bound youngster with OS X 
and relacing it with a sub-sized Intel notebook upon which I can run 
Linux with wireless.

Let me know if you find the secret to success.
