This is STILL wrong!!!! The apple drivers DO NOT WORK WITH THE 5300!!!!

You need to use the Agere/Orinoco drivers if you are using a lucent
card, or other third party software with the appropriate card.

Also to run 9 you would need a bunch of ram (32M?) I guess that's not
a bunch these days, but it still is for a 5300. I have used 8.6 which
still needs some ram... But I have spent DAYS playing with this setup
to get it to work...
