Now it works great! i tried this last night on my tibook. upgraded OS X and the airport firmware went from 8.4 to 8.7. however, booting back into linux i see the browsing problem with some pages not loading still remains. (and the firmware is 8.7 according to dmesg). on the other hand, i have noticed that the connection hasn't dropped yet unlike what was happening before the upgrade from 8.4 to 8.7. before it would drop after about 10 minutes of connection time. -- Serge Rey http://typhoon.sdsu.edu/rey.html There is no such thing as absolute certainty, but there is assurance sufficient for the purposes of human life. -- John Stuart Mill
