[ydl-gen] Wicd or whatever...

[Derick Centeno]

Thanks Steve, I'll give it a try.

Clarification:  When you mention that "you didn't have success with  
the previous method" are you referring to the posted instructions for  
Airport Extreme (this page:  http://us.fixstars.com/support/solutions/ 
ydl_5.x/airport-extreme.shtml) or something else?

I'll post the results of my efforts back here under this thread.

Thanks again.

By the way, all the best of the Season... and the upcoming New Year.
