    Lucent Wireless LAN

    Apple hasn't shipped the PCCard family for IOKit to develoeprs yet. (At least, not in general). One of the software development managers for WCND at Lucent posted on the Darwin Developers mailing list back in Sept. that he was very interested in creating support under Mac OS X Public Beta...

    AOL Instant Messenger

    Success: 500Mhz PB 2000

    Just wanted to say that I have it running on a 500Mhz PowerBook G3 (2000, firewire model). Dual display works, as does sleep (<1 sec to sleep, 2-3 to wake up). It's nice to see the battery monitor... it will even show how much time left until the battery is charged (when plugged into AC)...
