Comment 3 for bug 29440

This also happens on the Flight 5 LiveCD for PPC. The (original-preExtreme) Airport card in my iBook is not found at bootup. I can sudo modprobe airport and it is detected and than I can use the Networking panel to configure the SSID and DHCP and join the network. Before the manual modprobe the AP interface was not listed in the panel. I don't konw if this needs a seperate bug for not detecting the AP card or not. Most current Ap problems are with AP Extreme cards. ISTR this working fine on a Breezy LiveCD.
