Linksys BEFW11S4 router doesn't support Macintosh firmware upgrade

I at least have not found a way to do it, without borrowing a PC.

Unfortunately, that may mean I can't use my new Powerbook from work at home, wirelessly, because apparently older wireless routers can't deal with 802.11g, or Airport Extreme.

Maybe next time I'll buy an Apple router.

Interestingly, I talked with tech support, which was a call center in India. It was weird after reading all of these articles about call center and programmer outsourcing, to actually be talking with a real live person who was benefiting because of outsourcing.

Outsourcing has become a big issue in the US right now, because a lot of white collar jobs are being shipped overseas to lower costs. Huge debates reign on Slashdot and the editorials of the NY Times.
