Well, I've been playing with it - and I can't seem to get it running...
so I guess it isn't yet :(

I'm still not completely awake, of course, you will have replaced all
occurences of WEB in my mail by WEP ;)

The card works fine between two macs and a mac & an airport base station
with WEP disabled. According to someone on the mailing list, using the
base station WEP requires knowledge about the Apple key distribution
mecanism, and we don't have this knowledge.

Bugger.  I was hoping to use my airport - but I don't think I'll be allowed to
turn off security on our corporate wireless net ;)

I wonder if apple would be willing to let this out??  Probably not...
Does MacOS X support WEP yet?  Perhaps I should have a look through there.

Regards,

Chris

What I do is to configure the station to accept only the HW MAC address
of my card.

MacOS X does have a driver but it's not open sourced.
