I finally got my airport nic up and running under Linux yesterday. It was a nice break to the double eth situation I am still working. So I boot trusty ol' Linux today on the notebook and it hangs on setting up the cmos clock. It boots into OS x and 9 without any problem. However, now that I look at the time (osX) it is 12/31/69. I know I set the time. I also recall yesterday Kde was giving me trouble setting the time. I did boot into single user mode and ran clock. The output was 1902 or something. The notebook is under warranty. Is there a work around to the cmos clock hang? Maybe running a script to envoke ntp prior to the cmos clock? I did clear the PRAM, to no avail.
