It was a package version issue with madwifi-driver. These are in portage: 0.1443.20060207 0.1440.20060206 0.1420.20060201 0.1401.20060117 0.1_pre20050420-r1 and the ONLY one that will connect to the Airport router is 0.1401.20060117. I should submit a bug, no? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
