[ibook] Airport works while lid closed?

[Tom Legare]

Thanks for the information everyone.  I had gotten into the habit of 
just turning off the airport card before putting the ibook to sleep, 
but it was upsetting other users in our household when they opened up 
the ibook to go on the Internet :)  Retraining my home users is more 
difficult than reconfiguring our network :)
