Folks:
Fueled by the excellent info I've gleaned from you all and reading I've done
elswhere, I have what is a pretty stable and secure private home network.
What I'd like to do now is get my son's Blueberry iMac 350 on the network
(running MacOS 9.0.4), so that he can have the seamless access to the Internet
at large that I have going on my BSD box via ipchains. I'd also like to do this
via airport if possible (my linux iMac and his Blueberry both have airport
cards obviously).
I'm running Benh's 2.2.17pre13-ben1 kernel and have his airport module
installed. The instructions at his site discusses the use of a base
station based network (which I don't have and don't plan to get since I am
using the Linux iMac as the router). I tried setting up the Blueberry as a
software base station to see if I could hack a solution, but could not get
things to work. I've been pouring over the sites referenced on Ben's page and
my possibility of sucess appears dismal.
Since there is no hardware base station involved, can I set this thing up as a
computer to computer connection somehow rather than a base station connection
or is that not possible?
Ben, are you out there : ) ?
Pat
