I just did a google search... apparently the "Use 802.3" checkbox needs to be checked when using a particular Linksys wireless router... making it effectively incompatible with OS X which doesn't support 802.3. I still don't know what 802.3 actually does, but the page is here.

802.3x are the specs for Ethernet media in the lower parts of the OSI model
to me "use 802.3" means use Ethernet. I dont get it.

In otherwords - ethernet.
I suppose if you wanted to get pedantic about it then apple should reword the checkbox as I assume all apples are 802.3 compatible.
