The /etc/wplns file contains the logical names of the WP's on your system. The
/etc/aplns contains (you might have guessed) the logical names of the AP in you
system.
If you have only AP's and WP's you would normally use the letterbug as the
logical name.
If you have AW's you have a problem: the AW containss a logical AP AND a logical
WP and only one can be be letterbug name. This is why you may see "strange "
names on you system. Some time you can have a letterbug AW0101 which will have
aplns: AW0101 and wplns: AWWP01 for instance.

Solved problem??
