Wireless problem with YDL 3.0

[George H. Yeager]

Patrick:

I hope you do better than I have done.  I have an 800MHz 12 inch iBook2. 
  Wireless appears to be unsupported on my machine.

The error you are reporting appears to mean nothing.  I've seen in in 
SuSE, Red Hat, and YDL.  The wireless extensions are present in your 
kernal with YDL 3.0.  I'm still trying to get my wireless going (about 
two months now), but there seems little hope.  My present approach is 
based upon Howland's recent Airport script posts, but I suspect machine 
architecture changes that have broken a driver.  YDL support can't 
figure it out.  I've also tried OpenBSD on this machine.  It won't fire 
up the internal Airport card either (tends to support the hardware 
argument).  Still, I don't want to give up yet.  Airport _Extreme_ cards 
are acknowledged not to work anywhere, by the way.
