Hi Brian,
I see. Here's a link to a kind soul who put the needed Airport
extensions on a zip file.
<http://fabounio.free.fr/bidouille/airport.zip>
[I got it in one of the Apple Discussion Boards, namely: <http://
discussions.info.apple.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.68b4598e/1>]
Download the file, expand it and move the extensions to the System/
Library/Extension folders as per procedure described in my previous
message. Repair permissions before restarting, or they won't work!
Opinions are divided as to what to do next: you may see how things go
with just this move. Or you may decide to upgrade to Airport 4.2
anyway - the claim is that it is 10.4.2 that updates those
extensions. If you upgrade to Airport 4.2 what you must avoid doing
is allow the Airport Admin Utility to upload the new Firmware 5.6 to
the AEBS. That will mess things up big time.
Another tip: if you see your Airport connection cycling in and out
and the bars drop to 2 and less, it helps a lot to launch the Admin
Utility (do not let it upload 5.6 though!), then under the 'Mode'
dropdown menu, instead of the default 802.11b/g compatible, choose
the one that you need (i.e., the one that suits the Airport cards you
have installed on your computers; hopefully, they all are of the same
type?). Since changing to '802.11b Only', I'm getting consistently
powerful signal even downstairs.
Good luck!
Walter

Unfortunately 10.4.2 is already on all tiger machines, so I'm kinda
stuck there. WIth no 10.4.1 machines, and the base station updated,
what do I do?
