[QUOTE="pal, post: 190526, member: 13675"] Argh! Foiled again... Perhaps the truth was stretched a little when the salesman told me airport was built on 802.11, so 802.11a/b/g stuff would "just work". OK. So what is my prospect of success with plan B? I have an old generic 802.11b access point that used to drive my wireless lan before I upgraded. If I set it to bridge mode, and plug the cat5 into the mini's lan port, that should be a driver free solution shouldn't it? Only concern would be that the reduced bandwidth may render the "streaming" application sub-optimal...? Any comments? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
