It HAS 802.11 now. its just the support for managing apple's
proprietary basestation that wasn't NATIVE. you could still use the
os 9 one that was installed.

XFree works with it just GREAT. I'm using that right now as a matter
of fact to work on my Indigo2 while its headless for monitor
replacement.

I'll give you this one. Classic is a pain in the ass but I've
actually not had to use it much. I'm still waiting for a good MP3
player that doesn't need Classic but thats my big problem with it.
All my other major apps (email, ICQ, web browsers, text
editors/compilers) are native.
