grrr, I love this iBook but this airport thingy is a sick bastard:

# iwconfig eth1 mode managed essid camp07-foo nick camp07-foo key off enc off # dhclient eth1

...but all I got was:

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready SoftMAC: Authentication timed out with 00:0b:0e:56:d7:00

bcm43xx module and loaded it again - after this it worked instantly. Yeah I know, I should file a bug or better yet: send a patch....-ENOSKILL :-\ The good thing is that I'm lying in a hammock surrounded by trees, good music, fantastic visuals and kind h4x0rs...guess where I am :)
