I have just one wireless device (a laptop). At the moment, I've got an old 11b WAP that only supports WEP encryption.

The problem is that as far as I can tell, you can only switch on wireless bridging when the Transporter is connected to a wireless network. How does one switch on bridging when it's connected via ethernet? -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32361 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
