Ian,
What card did they provide? It's possible that there may be a Mac 
driver for it.

Otherwise, there are plenty of cards that work for the Pismo and are 
not too expensive. Wireless is great! You will wonder how you did 
without it for so long. Being able to sit anywhere  in the house and 
access the net and print is a nice luxury. Plus all of the Starbucks, 
etc.

If you can afford it, and the card they gave you really won't work, 
then an internal airport card is a nice option. Nothing sticking out 
the side or worrying about misplacing. Only 802.11b instead of g but 
plenty enough speed for me. Maybe someone who has tried both on a Pismo 
can tell us if the speed difference is noticeable.

I believe Apple has stopped making the original Airport card (a Pismo 
can't use an Airport Extreme). But Ebay and others still offer it. I 
know the price went up for awhile, but I think it is fairly reasonable 
(as in close to the original price) now.

Has anyone tried the Sourceforge Freeware driver or the IOXperts 
shareware driver with this card (Belkin F5D7010 version 3001)?

Excellent. However the trial hasn't started yet and I don't even have
the router. If you need to sell then please don't wait for me. When
iget the router I post again to the list (it may change from the
router they mentioned)

Thanks to all - Info was VERY useful

Van,
	Please do I would like to know if it works. If it does please share 
the details.
	
	I Just tried the Belkin F5D7010 Rev. 3001. In spite of what the site 
says there was NO joy with Apple Drivers. The supply of Rev 1000s , 
which did work w/ 10.2.6 and 10.3.X has dried up. I have called Belkin 
and begged them to get the engineers to put the pressure on Ralink to 
develop a mac compatible driver. It will take all of us to call and 
complain to get them to do it. Their # is 877.736.5771.

There should be some kind of rod underneath the space bar. You could try to
pry it off and make sure it is snapped properly to both sides of the key. I
know that on a Pismo, if it would come off on one side, then the space bar
wouldn't work properly.

In all seriousness, learning some basic UNIX commands is incredibly

Very good idea. David Pogue's "OS X: The Missing Manual" has a chapter 
or two on the subject, and O'Reilly has an entire book devoted to the 
subject: "Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther" 
.

They also have a highly recommended book for those of you coming the 
other way, from unix or Linux:

"Mac OS X Panther for Unix Geeks" 


Which is an Apple Developer recommended title.

For RealMedia like RealVideo and RealAudio I think it's sufficient
enough. I wouldn't use it for anything else. For Windows Media I use VLC
and in rare cases WMP. 
Soon because of software patents Macs may once again be as *cked as
before OS X and projects like VLC could go away. Our biggest hope, I
guess, for Video is that Mpeg4 beats Windows Media in popularity.
