the wireless Ethernet.
Presumably there is a module I need to load?

The internal airport actually is just a card that
slides into a PCMCIA-like slot inside the computer. As
far as I know, Apple does not make actual PCMCIA
versions of the cards. They are all 'internal'.

Do you have a machine that will accept Airport? If so, maybe some of us on
the list could chip in to get you an Airport card and a base station. I
worked it out and it would take 10 people do
ink it will be implemented this time around though.
This has been addressed by several people already. Basically it comes down
to two things: 1) detecting/activating/recognizing Airport properly (which
is PPC-specific) and making the networking configuration a bit more new-user
friendly (which is more general).

/proc/net/wireless seems to exist even when the module is not loaded, but

All I have tries so far is installing the kernel-pcmcia-cs package from
the Mandake 8.0 cd and /etc/init.d
I can report that the problem with iBook2 sound volume being way too high

just as it should be.
I can also report this release fixes the airport level/noise reporting

Hi Sylvain,
I can't really help you with the first two questions - sorry ;(
As for airport stuff, the first place to start is loading the module
that supports the airport card, airport.o - the maintainer of this code
is Ben Herrenschmidt, his site is a good place to start if you
rpm -qa :-)
By the way, where do I find informations on how to configure a wireless

needed to do was provide an essid name and a key:
iwconfig eth1 essid "mynetworkname"
iwconfig eth1 key A235D2FD88
This key is use is NOT the password that you use in MacOS to access the
