..... And if you do choose this setup, please let me know if you
experience 'drop outs' between the Airport card and the basestation.
I have the above setup and frequently experience these messages in my
log:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
eth1: Tx timeout! ALLOCFID=ffff, TXCOMPLFID=ffff, EVSTAT=8000
eth1: Unknown information frame received (type f202).
eth1: Unknown information frame received (type f202).
eth1: New link status: Connected (0001)

Loads of those, network disappears, and comes back. Sometimes many times
per minute.

Kernel is currently:  2.6.0-test11, but I've experienced since the OSX
upgrade that also trashed Yaboot.
