I just bought an Apple AirPort Base Station, two AirPort cards for my iMacs and a Lucent OriNOCO card for my laptop that runs Mandrake 8.0. As is par for the course, installing and configuring the base and the two cards in the Mac environment was a dream. Took me all of about 20 minutes. The Lucent is a slightly different story. Mandrake properly loaded the wvlan_cs module, but I'm stuck at that point. I tried running Draknet but couldn't figure out where to enter my base station's network name and the password for the network. I'd really love to get this going. I'm kind of betwixt and between at home. I can either have the iMacs on the net using AirPort or the laptop on the net via the cable modem. I suppose I could plug my AirPort base station and my laptop into my XRouter and connect the XRouter to the cable modem, but the whole point of this exercise was to give me mobility with the laptop... :-( Any pointers appreciated. -- Skip Montanaro ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (847)971-7098
