This is a BTO machine with AirPort Extreme card installed and Bluetooth
module on the logic board.
So my computer is equipped with the hardware they relate to.
Any further advice?
Could it be that my install software contains more recent versions of
the software/drivers than those on the Software Update site?

Just received 12" iBook G4 1GHz ... have downloaded and installed
updates via Software Update but there are three showing in the update
window which appear to be 'optional' (i.e. they didn't have a green
button beside them and didn't install automatically like the other 9
packages).
The first of these three is Airport Software 3.4.1 with a grey info
arrow next to it and an unchecked check box. The other two are Apple
Bluetooth Module Firmware 1.1 and iSight Update 1.0.2 neither of
which have a grey info arrow beside them, although they each have
unchecked check boxes next to them.
Does the fact that these three didn't install like the rest, and
require me to actively select them via the check boxes mean:
1. I don't need them on my machine?
need them... no you don't need them
all software updates are optional the checked ones are recommended but
can be de-selected if you wish the unchecked ones are ... well not
"not recommended" but superfluous to your computer usually because
your computer is not equipped with the hardware they relate to
my guess is that you didn't get the optional Airport or bluetooth
transceivers the computer knows that you don't have them so they are
not NEEDED
2. They are optional on my machine and can be installed if I want?
yes but they will not be needed unless you purchase an AirPort card
and or a bluetooth transceivers
3. Some other reason?
fish
Any help would be appreciated.

Powerbook juts incase I go crazy with money an buy the un-required,
but extremely stylish, iSight camera. no harm done.
The triangle simply means that you will need to restart your computer
after that update is done
