[Wirelessdriver-support] Compatibility with Airport Extreme

[J.J. E. <jj...@ma...>]

Hi,

I=B9m sorry if this was already discussed in this forum, but I cannot access
the forum archive to find out =AD
www.sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=3Dwirelessdriver-support
doesn=B9t respond.

I have a PowerBook G3 Firewire (Pismo) and a Farallon Skyline 11Mb card and
when at a friend=B9s house I cannot see his network. He has a Airport Extreme
Dual-Ethernet (snow) base station. However, I can see his neighbor=B9s
network!
In comparison, my friend can see *both* network in his Airport menu with hi=
s
Airport Extreme card-equipped iBook.

Is it a known issue that WirelessDriver 1.0b5 doesn=B9t work in this
configuration or is there something wrong on my end?

Also, it would be great if WirelessDriver could detect automatically the
networks in range, and even automatically connects to the strongest signal.
That=B9s most convenient when you travel between 2 locations (say home and
office) and have to *manually* type the current network name =AD assuming you
know it! -  in the wirelessdriver=B9s preference pane.

Keep up the good work, and I look forward to b6 or even 1.0 final :-)

Cheers,
-- jj.
