A little humor helps. Just so that the message continues to get out.

i love that my little town made that list. i'm really excited to see this one. :thumbsupbecauseWDdidn't:

I'm having trouble connecting to an 802.11a access point with my AirPort Extreme card in my MBP. Has anyone else had success? I'm pretty sure the radio is on and working on the n…

802.11A is a very different thing from B and G; it operates on a completely different frequency band and with different wireless protocols. I don't think there's an AirPort-brande…

Yes, it's a 5GHz spectrum-technology, although the MBP does support 802.11a. It's the first Mac to support it as I understand.

Here's a quote from the manual: "How AirPort Provides Wireless Internet Access With AirPort Extreme technology, your MacBook Pro makes a wireless connection to an AirPort Express…

I hopt that's not a typo in the manual, but I can't help you on this because it's the first I've heard of an AirPort card supporting -A connectivity.

Ok, thanks. Maybe someone else will have more information. Later in the manual they talk about it being an a/b/g MiniPCIe card too. Speculation is that it was easy to get this f…

I think Intel makes that card too; I've seen other Intel bundled a/b/g mini-PCI cards, so a mini-PCIe card would just need a different bus interface and they'd be done.

I read in an article yesterday (tried to find the link but could not) that there is some question as to whether or not the .a talk is an accident or if it might work. Apparently n…

Yeah, I bought two access points to try to get out of the busy 2GHz spectrum and allow this machine to be in full-speed mode while the B has similar channels running. I hope we ca…

Intel includes their 3945ABG miniPCI card in the Centrino Duo bundle (Core Duo + 945PM + 3945ABG). Example from their price list: T2500 (2M L2 cache 2 GHz 667 MHz FSB) w/ Intel 945…

The "how" is simple; by changing to only using the wired router's DHCP server, you went from having about three different networks (separated by their own DHCP address ranges) to h…
