It does work on Leopard, at least on a PPC. (there is a comment about using the driver on leopard in the middle of the page). Note that an original Apple Airport base station, the one that is grey, looks like a Hershey's kiss or flying saucer, and has one ethernet port (and a 56k modem port) has an Orinoco card inside it. You can open the unit up, and under the cover is one in a socket. It just pops out and can be used in a laptop. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
