05:18:32 # Life Still fighting with my wireless setup. I've upgraded the kernel to 2.6.16.16, and tried again. However, it seems to pull the machine to a hard halt after a while. Hmm.. This is USB wlan device (GW-US11H) on iBook G4.

On the other hand, I found something is weird about my cpuinfo. bogomips of 36 doesn't sound quite right.

processor	: 0
cpu		: 7447A, altivec supported
clock		: 1066.666664MHz
revision	: 0.1 (pvr 8003 0101)
bogomips	: 36.73
timebase	: 18432000
machine		: PowerBook6,5
motherboard	: PowerBook6,5 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh 
detected as	: 287 (iBook G4)
pmac flags	: 0000001b
L2 cache	: 512K unified
pmac-generation	: NewWorld
	

I asked in the mailing list, and got answer from BenH and others that ppc moved on to using timebase instead of bogomips, and bogomips is no longer calculated.
