Yes, you're right ... there's no support for internal modems. I think
that getting my Wi-Fi NIC working will be my number one priority now ...

Sadly, Terrasoft's own BBS (and the web, in general) are full of
PS3-related threads and how toes but seriously lack good Mac-related
infos ... at least for YDL 5.0x.

At the moment I'm not able to set up a Wi-Fi connection both at home
(where I'm using my trusty Fonera router: WPA2, hybrid 11/54 Mbps) and
at work (WEP encryption, EAP (PEAP), RADIUS ACS, 11 Mbps) ... the
System-Config-Network tool always says that there is no link at all (I'm
using YDL 5.02).

Is there a place where I can find some good infos and how toes that
could apply to the Mac platform? Or ... can someone give me some hints?
The Network Administration Tool html documentation doesn't help very much :(
