Re: [ydl-gen] wifi - addendum (corrected)
Jon, you can remove yourself at anytime. Note: Everytime you receive something from this mailing list you notice those last three lines which include something that starts with: Unsuscribe, which should of course be Unsubscribe Just follow that link. If it's not highlighted then merely copy it starting from http to however it ends - and place it into the URL of whatever browser you use. Follow the directions there on that page. There's a big difference as to how Fixstars has managed this mailing list versus how it was managed in the past. Unfortunate, but true. In brief, that difference means that those who participate on this list are apparently left to ourselves to abide by the posted directions/guidelines - or not. I cannot speak for Fixstars, however I've not observed any Fixstars employee or certainly no upper management participate as actively in these lists as those who worked for Terra Soft Solutions did. That is quite a while ago! The upshot is, you registered onto the list; you've therefore have to remove yourself. Good Luck!!

Re: [ydl-gen] wifi - addendum
Hi Stephanie, Start with redirecting where yum looks for repositories, meaning sites where software which yum recognizes as available for download for YDL. Getting the right software installed will get your network up and running faster. Here's the link: http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19t=3017 I messed up my install of YDL such that it's fine for programming, but not much else unfortunately. However, there exists another link which could be helpful to you which addresses wicd. See here: http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19t=7236p=37327 By the way, remember to extract the Airport Extreme (AE) firmware from OS X! Although yum can help you acquire the tools to do the extraction of AE firmware you also need to check to see if you have AE installed on your laptop at all. Remember Airport Extreme is not the same as the standard Airport card Apple installed in that era. So if AE isn't present, the whole effort is useless. You might be better off looking for a wireless card to fit into the PCMCIA card. See more here: http://www.ydl.net/support/solutions/ydl_general/pcmcia-nic.shtml Of course, if you do have AE proceed with the instructions here: http://www.ydl.net/support/solutions/ydl_6.x/airport-extreme.shtml Good Luck, Derick.
