    I'm setting up a domestic wireless network with a Linksys wireless router. To connect laptops to the network I have a couple of these;

    I am a Windows and Linux user - haven't used a Mac regularily in nearly 10 years. So far I've had no problem getting my WinXP and Linux boxes linked up. However my friend who is here with me when she is at college has an iBook (she's a postgrad design student and therefore a hardcore Mac user!) and I would like to get her connected wirelessly using one of the Belkin USB adapters. Has anyone any experience using this piece of kit with a Mac? I believe there are OSX drivers available - need to Google around a bit more to find them - there's only Windows drivers on the CD in the box.

    So how do I do it? (bearing in mind that the last time I used a Mac OS9 was the big new thing)

    It's ok - ignore this thread - didn't have to use the Belkin USB yoke because iBooks are already wireless ready! At least I've found out out what Airport Extreme is - it works very well indeed which is handy as I don't have to feck around with drivers etc. That's a nice feature of Mac laptops which I wasn't aware of. Oh well live and learn :rolleyes:
