Well, I had problems earlier with b6.  I thought I fixed it, but here is
what I have noticed with it so far.

1) On startup, my PowerBook G3 Wallstreet takes quite a long time to
initialize network connections.  When it does continue booting, I get a
blinking link light on the network card.

2) To get the wireless driver working, I need to open the Ioxperts
preference panel and just click "Apply".  The link gets established and
works for 30 minutes.  I previously reported I need to click the "Short
Preamble" - that was incorrect as clicking "Apply" was all that was needed.

3) I cannot register the b6 to get it working in registered mode.  I
installed on top of the b3 that worked perfectly (and was registered).

My hardware:
PowerBook G3 Wallstreet
Mac OSX 10.2.8
Sonnet G4/500MHz Upgrade
Adaptec Wireless card
   Card hardware type 801b: Intersil PRISM 3, SST parallel flash
   Firmware Versions: PRI 1.1.0, STA 1.4.2

I gotta send this now, because my 30 minutes will be up soon!
