    [SOLVED] Airport Extreme support for PPC Ubuntu

    Hi, I'm pretty new to linux and I'm having trouble getting my Airport extreme card to work. The error that I'm getting is that the firmware to run it is missing. If anyone could give me a hand it would be really helpful.

    Thanks

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    What version of Ubuntu are you using? Go to System->Administration->Additional Drivers tool - you will need to be connected to the network via standard ethernet. That should show you if there are other drivers or firmware for your network card that need to be installed. I've had to do that with various laptops running Ubuntu.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    I'm running 10.10 on an apple eMac. I've just tried the additional drivers tool and it says that there are none to be downloaded... any ideas what to try next?
