Airport works great on most machines, Eddie, but not all, it appears.  I'd
be the first to admit stupidity, believe me -- particularly if it would
help.  However, I've tried it all at least three times.  The BSD test
installation (to test the hardware against "standards") was actually done
by another engineer to keep my influences out of it. As I said, it would
not work either.  I have no problem setting up wireless on my Red Hat 9
Intel box.

Over a month ago I sent all my config logs to YDL to help them find the
issue when I learned they were going to spend some time on it.  I
understand they had some success and Kai said to stand by for news on this
matter.  That's what I'm doing -- one reason I'm monitoring the lists. 
I'm waiting patiently, I might add.  I'm not bugged by this at all; have
no bad thoughts about YDL.
