Finally, the airport card problem is solved too. Have to manually select the connection type from the network preference.

Got myself a classic Powerbook, and also learnt some lessons. Money well spent 🙂

Thank you very much for your help. Very much appreciated 🙂

Sometimes, when you are getting full with the latest technology, switch back to some good old classic will make you feel younger 😀

Congratulations on your downgraded computer's upgraded operating system. Just curious though, do you have 1gb installed?

Downgraded computer's upgraded operation system ...... I like it 😀

Actually, I have 512+128MB installed now. Will find the other 512MB soon to replace the 128MB.
 
Im glad im not the only one using a powerbook G4. I recently reformatted and upgraded to 10.5 with no problems at all, but then again i bought the 10.5 from the apple store. The whole computer runs faster/smoother...kind of weird.
