Hi Stephanie,<br>
Start with redirecting where yum "looks" for repositories, meaning sites<br>
where software which yum recognizes as available for download for YDL.<br>
Getting the right software installed will get your network up and<br>
running faster.<br>
<br>
Here's the link: <a href="http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3017" target="_blank">http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3017</a><br>
I messed up my install of YDL such that it's fine for programming, but<br>
not much else unfortunately. However, there exists another link which<br>
could be helpful to you which addresses wicd. See here:<br>
<a href="http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7236&p=37327" target="_blank">http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7236&p=37327</a><br>
<br>
By the way, remember to extract the Airport Extreme (AE) firmware from<br>
OS X! Although yum can help you acquire the tools to do the extraction<br>
of AE firmware you also need to check to see if you have AE installed on<br>
your laptop at all. Remember Airport Extreme is not the same as the<br>
standard Airport card Apple installed in that era. So if AE isn't<br>
present, the whole effort is useless. You might be better off looking<br>
for a wireless card to fit into the PCMCIA slot. See more here:<br>

<br>
Of course, if you do have AE proceed with the instructions here:<br>

<br>
Good Luck, Derick.<br>
