[root@nunux waka]#

The console error points at my iMac g3 350mhz airport card whereas the
airport card(has an emergency internet access which i'm using now) is
the only one working. The one that doesnt seem to work is the internal
ethernet card(my main internet access).Being a newbie, it's very hard
for me to learn linux while not being able to access the net
from the linux box :<. Please help!
