I've installed MintPPC Linux on my indigo iBook, and I've had a couple problems with Internet. The CD Drive is broken, so OS X is not an option. I'm trying to connect to WPA with my AirPort card, and I had the exact same problem as the guy in this forum:</span></font><div style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; font-family: times, serif; "><span>http://www.mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=446</span></div><div style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; font-family: times, serif; "><br></div><div style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; font-family: times, serif; ">and I tried this solution:</div><div style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; font-family: times, serif; "><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);

I was standing about 5 feet away, and it shows about 5 other networks(Not
greyed out). It works when I connect using the Internet cable, though. Is there any way I could fix this? I use WPA personal, by the way, and my Linux distro supports that.</span></font></div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>iBook mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:iBook@listserver.themacintoshguy.com" href="mailto:iBook@listserver.themacintoshguy.com">iBook@listserver.themacintoshguy.com</a><br><a href="http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/ibook" target="_blank">http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/ibook</a><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
