I bought a copy of MacOS X as soon as I could, but I still haven't taken it out of the plastic wrapper yet. And I won't -- not until they have proper support for Lucent/Agere WaveLAN/Orinoco 802.11b PC cards. Right now, if you want to do 802.11b on MacOS X, your only choice is to use Apple AirPort cards. For the moment, ignore the fact that they are really just Lucent/Agere WaveLAN/Orinoco cards that have had their external antennas chopped off, and Apple supports the Lucent/Agere WaveLAN/Orinoco cards under MacOS 9 as "AirPort PC Cards", and you no longer need the drivers available from Lucent/Agere (nor can you use them, even if you wanted to). Myself, now that MacOS X Server is about to be updated, based on the released version of MacOS X, I wouldn't expect to see the developer stuff being available for/with MacOS X much longer -- Apple really does want that stuff to be available to developers only, who are obviously all fat-cats with unlimited expense accounts, and can afford to pay the $500 or $1000 for MacOS X Server. -- Brad Knowles, /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
