Oh, I also forgot to mention that you should, of course, compile the hostap kernel module. This can be done like this (after having apt-get'ed hostap-source and assuming that you compile your own kernels with kernel sources located in /usr/src/linux): cd /usr/src tar zxvf hostap-source.tar.gz cd linux fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version -foobar modules_image sudo dpkg -i ../hostap-modules-2.6.5-foobar_0.1.2-2_i386.deb depmod -a Should you ever want to use the MA311 as an access point, have a look at my notes: http://sentinel.dk/cookbook/?Linux_wireless_access_point - -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: search for 'dannemare' on http://pgpkeys.mit.edu Key fingerprint: BB7B 078A 0DBF 7663 180A F84A 2D25 FAD5 9C4E B5A8 http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA+XJrLSX61ZxOtagRAiedAKCFK+fFW+MOH9IZ10MGJazHCjLqGACdGDWW Hcv0EXB8Hm/PCXVmTW1kdpw= =F1Df -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
