Which kernel are you using?  I have no problems with airport on my 
iBook using 2.4.22-2g or 2.4.25-ben1 that is optimized for the iBook.  
Do you have Airport or Airport extreme?  I don't have any experience 
with airport extreme.
I would try updating the kernel if you haven't already.  Use yum update 
kernel to get newest ydl kernel or go to ppckernel.org to get the 
optimized kernel.
Hope this helps some, I would hate to see you give up on linux so 
quickly.

Just CC'ed the general list. I admire those persons who can solidly
stand 

behind the choice of Linux for every computing task. With so many
choices 

available to everyone: Mac, Windows, Linux, picking which OS to use is
no 

longer such a cut-and-dried decision. Your choice of computer OS has
taken on 

the status of clothing: depending on your mood or your task, you may
dress in 

a business suit or a t-shirt and cutoff jeans. If I want to get my
hands 

dirty and open up the hood to fiddle around with the engine, I'll pick
Linux 

for a while; if I want a gorgeous screen and don't want to open a
terminal 

window to save my life, I'll reboot into Mac OS X. I just thank
goodness for 

the multi-boot option so switching operating systems can be as easy as 

changing your mind. ;)

I think for me the decision is made in large part because of the
Airport problem I'm having with YDL. It won't work reliably under YDL,
on my equipment; the same equipment does work reliably under OSX. I
wanted to try Linux because my company may switch to using it, at
least in part, and I thought that this would be a good way to learn
about it. But I need wireless networking, and I can't get it to work
under YDL. As I say, with the exact same hardware it works under OS X.

So it's good bye Tux!
