        Hello,
        Iam trying to use my wifi lucnet card, after
        installing the necesary drivers (Thanks Paul for your
        help), and I have the following error : 60088, that's
        mean that the DHCP server could not be found. I am
        working with an aiport extreme base, and I have a MP
        2000.
        I thing I have made a misfiguration of the setup, but
        I have follow the wikiwikinewt instructions.
        Could somebody help me ?

        Thanks by advance

        Philippe

Phillipe,

You probably haven't misconfigured your card. Airport Extreme and
Airport Express are very fussy about what cards they will work with.
Your WiFi card needs to have a "Lucent/Agere" chipset. For a list of
cards that have this chipset check out Hiroshi's webpage at
http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~ngc/eng/newtwave.htm

For example, A Lucent Turbo bronze will work fine with a Graphite
Airport Base station but will consistently return the 60088 error with
an Airport Express. Hope this saves you some frustration.
