Richard:
Can't wait to hear how you do. I do use a D-Link AP, but I don't think
that's the issue. I've also tried it with Linksys. No soap. I can get
wireless up just fine with OS X on the D-Link AP, 128 bit encryption and
all.
If someone can get it working with brand "X" I'll run out and buy a
brand "X" AP. No problem. However, if you want to take your iBook to
the local wireless hangout, you'd expect it to work with whatever they have.
