HELP ! LiveCD Install over Airport Extreme Station (WLAN)

Sohryu Asuka Langley

Hello,

maybe anybody could help me...

I want to install Gentoo from my Live CD Minimal over my Airport Extreme WLAN (Stage 1 Install).

So i must get access to the Internet over my Airport Extreme Station from the LiveCD Bootprompt...

I know how to do it with ethernet... But what about WLan ???

Is it possible ?!

I'm sorry but an airport extreme card isn't supported.

Broadcom doesn't want to release the public specs for the broadcom chip used in the Airport Extreme (BCM4306). So the only option is reverse engineering, and that takes a while...

There is a sourceforge project for it, but don't know it by heart.

greetings,

SeJo
