Yuppers. The only way around this is to get a USB dongle and disable, remove your airport card. As a user of MintPPC, there is a pretty extensive list of support hardware. I know for a fact there are more than a few dongles that can be had for less than fifteen dollars that will allow WPA WEP etc. While the USB 1.1 interface will bottle neck you a bit, your over all surfing experience will be noticeably faster. -- Nathan ---------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: MacMini 2011/Corei5/4gig/10.7.2 Sandbox: PowerbookG4/1.25/1.25/10.5.6 Meh: 1g iPhone/8gig/3.0.3
