 Mac OS X is amazing, but does anyone know if AirPort Software Base Station is suported? I will also take hacks to get it suported [it is my iBook's only source of internet (SWBS)]. Thanks in advance  !

| Yes, I suppose it does. I haven't messed around much, but in the build I got from a friend I could use Airport without any problems. I clicked on the Airport Strength dock thing and got a menu. There was a choice called "Create Computer to Computer Network" or something like that. I don't have two airport compatible computers, so I didn't try it, but that's probably what you're looking for.

 Works great! I've got an Airport network set up in my house and a G3 PowerBook running OS X. Installed it, clicked over and set a few networking settings (DHCP) and poof! It worked! The only problem I had was that on reboot OS X wanted to default to the modem and my TCP/IP connection...it drove me nuts until I went into the "advanced" settings and unchecked both modem and built-in ethernet (leaving Airport selected). Works fine now...in fact, t feels like its faster than it was with OS 9.1! Sean |

| Airport on X It works really well, but be warned: Do not use a UFS filesystem during installation. There are bugs related to case-sensitivity that prevent Mac OS X from recognising the Airport card. Hopefully, this will be fixed in a patch, as UFS filesystems are optimised for speed and are likely to be faster on X. - Matt |
