Hi I've installed YDL 4.0, and am at a loss of an internet connection
under it because the airport extreme is unsupported in my computer
(2003 powerbook 15"). I was hoping to use at least one of my two
wireless cards: linksys WPC-54G, Proxim Orinoco Gold (recent one).
Thanks in advanced for your help.
