I think you sold me on the futility of this exercise. My Linksys has been in service longer than that, 5 years at least. Maybe one of the micro-flavors of FreeBSD or NetBSD might be better suited to this, on a low-powered disused hardware platform. It doesn't seem reliable enough to spend any more time on. If I could make it work, I could like to compare what it took to the various approaches I have read (including in the Handbook which is usually very dependable: I used it earlier today to refresh my memory on adding a swapfile). I'm calling it closed for now. Better use of my time to just find a backup AP. -- Paul Beard Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
