I run an older Airport (Graphite) at home. I have a cable modem connected to an ethernet hub and the hub connected via ethernet to the Airport base station my G4 desktop and Pismo are on a wireless lan talking to the Airport Base Station and it all works flawlessy. This setup requires both machines to have wireless cards installed but it causes the Base Station to function as a hardware firewall that keeps my Mac "invisable" to the internet.
I also don't expect there to be any problem when I go to 10.2 because it uses the same TCP/IP protocol as we are using now. In fact I believe it will make networking with my son's PC (poor child, just doesn't get it) even easier.
