trying to find my airport card

[Marc F Rios <mrios@MIT.EDU>]

Hi folks,

I am using an ibook 800mhz G3, sid w/ 2.4.26 kernel found on 
ppckernel.org (the bitkeeper stable ibook kernel)

problem: under the previous kernel, the laptop knew that eth1 was the
airport card. Now, the kernel does not know where the card is.

-airport module is installed, loaded
-iwconfig thinks there is a card there, it gives me information on the
eth0 port that looks pretty accurate.
-ifdown and ifup do not work

what exactly do I need to do to get the airport talking?

thanks.

-Marc
