Certainly.

Well, "infrastructure" is the mode you want in order to talk to an AP,
so it sounds like a pretty good bet that this is what you want.
You will probably also want to find out what the proper SSID ("network
name") is.
>My laptop is a Thinkpad 600E running -current from 3 days ago.
I'm running an older -STABLE on my 600E, but recent -STABLEs and
-CURRENTs on my personal laptop (rebuilding each daily); using the 340
cards. We use a Cisco/Aironet AP at work, and I use an Apple Airport at
home.
Cheers,
