Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Orinoco Gold + WallStreet PB + 10.2.3 + AirportExtreme = no go?

[Marc S. <met...@si...>]

If the "bogus" address starts with 169 it means that it is not connecting at
all.

If this helps, I found that one thing I had to do to make it work (but with
the Linksys) that might work for the Airport too:

There must be something in the "DHCP Client ID (optional)" - put in
anything, just don't leave it blank.
