That’s good to hear Laz. I wish you a lot of luck in your PowerPC and Linux experience. I’m going to try and get Airport Extreme working on my powerbook soon, so I’ll remember you and your firmware when I do.

[...] Code: http://www.lanterntorch.com/free-software/149/airport-extreme-lives-in-linux/ As you can see, this is very frustrating for me, because I’ve scoured Google for a copy of the AirPort drivers/firmware. If anyone could copy one of their system drivers for me, I would be so, so happy. The dir from the root of your HD is: [...]

Hey. I’m an avid Windows user/Computer Business owner, and I just recently acquired a free iBook G4 from one of my irritated customers. The OS X 10.3.x was corrupt, so, me not having used, god-forbid own, an apple or it’s install disks, my only other option(save for forking out $110+ for Tiger) was to install Linux. Now, I’ve never worked with Linux that much, let alone ppc Linux, so this is all a new experience for me. I’ve tried for about a week now to get the Airport Extreme card to work, and I’ve came to the conclusion that I need to get a copy of the firmware for it. Unfortunately I have no access to a mac, and I can’t find anywhere that I can get a download of the Linux compatable firmware(not to be ran on Linux, but an OS X tarball) so that I can use fwcutter on them.

If anyone has a copy of kernel 2.6.18 compatable AirPort Extreme OS X firmware, or even the end product of fwcutter, it would be highly appriciated, and I’m sure I’m not the only one ;D. My email is ii ( A | T ) insaneinnovations ( D | O | T ) ( C | O | M )

Thanks so much, oh, and I will be using it personally, not selling it, so that I can get better aquainted with Linux.

[...] As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I have the Airport Extreme wireless card in my Apple iBook G4 working. I also mentioned, however, that I had to run through a certain process to get it to come up and connect to the network. At the time I originally posted on this subject, I could not get any graphical configuration program to work with it. Instead, I wrote a script and used hotkeys to implement it. That is good, as long as I am only going to and from work, but when I go other places, I’d have to make new scripts. [...]

Thanks a bunch for the info on how to do this on a mac, im about to install ubuntu so this is just what I was looking for. However, in response to why apple didnt post the protocol, broadcomm makes the protocol and its in use by the government (they subcontracted broadcomm), and as a result, such information is to be kept private for “security reasons”. No sneaky apple conspiracy, just government BS
