Many thanks

Can I connect an apple airport extreme basestation to my pacarana via ethernet and use it to connect my ipad with the pacarana.

---

Yes! (The Extreme is easy to set up; however, the smaller, Airport Express is quite tricky to configure and, in that configuration, can connect the Pacarana to the iPad and not to get to the Internet).

Also if anyone knows can I connect my Mac Pro to a Apple Airport Extreme basestation and connect to other wifi networks . ( i.e can I use it instead of buying an internal airport card.

---

The Extreme can connect 4 wired Ethernet devices and any number of wireless devices to the same subnet (so they can see each other), and it connects all of those devices to the Internet via a special WAN Ethernet jack on the back of the Extreme.

I don't know if the Extreme can connect to the Internet wirelessly (has anyone tried this?)

We've been successfully using the Asus WL330gE Portable Wireless Access Point (http://www.symbolicsound.com/Learn/AsusWL330)

I guess your Mac does not have built-in Airport, but if it did, I would also suggest checking with Delora Software, http://www.delora.com about an upcoming product that will let you use the built-in Airport of your Macintosh as an ad hoc network for connecting your Pacarana to your iPad.

(I'll copy some of this information to http://www.symbolicsound.com/Learn/KymaControl for future reference as well).

The other question was out of interest. I guess I will just have to get an airport card for the Mac Pro for general internet and maybe use the Delora software you mention for when I want to hook up the pacarana as well.

Hope that is clear
