I have a PBG4 with an airport card, which I got to replace a HP Omnibook. For the Omnibook, I bought a NetBlaster II wireless card and hub.
As Airport is 802.11b, the card sees the Netblaster hub, and gives me signal strength. But the rub is that Airport can't be used concurrently with PPPoE (which is what my DSL requires). At least I can't find out how. It seems like the card expects the hub/basestation to already be connected. Any way to connect via PPPoE with Airport? The Airport config utilities don't recognize the hub in the strict sense as a manageable entity, though they acknowledge the signal. Any advice? Please? I don't want to spend another 300 or whatever for the Apple basestation when I should be able to get this setup to work.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
