Hi all, <quote who="John Watlington">

Just wanted to give everyone an update. I bought a DLink DWL-2100AP which is what David and Ian are trying to implement for their XO rollouts. We found that we could not get DHCP working on the AP at all for either an XO or for an IBM laptop running Ubuntu. We tried several different firmware versions (although the AP is seemingly locked to European firmware and we can't use the US ones) and the only way we could use it was as an AP that forwards DHCP requests to the network. We've spent about 4 hours today trying to troubleshoot the issues and I am unfortunately going to have to recommend that the APs be plugged into a network which plugs into an XS server for DHCP to get the XOs connected. David, where you can't have an XS server you could always buy a different AP or other DHCP allocation device per site for DHCP resolution as these APs seem to be inappropriate for the job (at least the Australian ones).
