I don't what the problem could be. Others have pointed out that the wireless part could be locked down with password/encryption and that would require additional setup in Linux. But I'm running the base station wide open to prevent just such a problem.
Additionally, wired clients obviously don't need any kind of authentication, and even that doesn't work. For reference, mine is the older graphite colored base station. I dunno, I'm downloading beta 2 right now, maybe that will resolve something for me. --- Todd Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am not having problems with the airport. > > during the install it detects the gmac interface, I > tell it I have an airport. > I switched the airport to eth0, and actually had to > reboot to have it work.
