USB wireless networking on new ibook

[Francis X. Maier]

Todd,

Don't know about the iBook, but the DWL-122 definitely works.  It just  
takes some careful attention to detail and some patience.  You will  
need to:

1.  Compile a new kernel or recompile your old one.  And then,

2.  Compile and install the linux-wlan-ng driver.

Re the former, see:

Re the latter, see this good tutorial:

If I could do it, anybody can.  Drop me an email if I can help.
