I've run hostapd on wrap before.  My g worked well but n never worked well on 
my atheros card.  I've been using a separate ap for the last year though so the 
hostapd in Bering 5 might be much better on n.   Im out of town now but will be 
back in 2 weeks.  Let me know if you want my config then

Subject: [leaf-user] 486 WRAP tests

A friend has run LEAF on 486 WRAP boxes for several years, which I set 
up for him. I recently upgraded his WRAP router to Bering 5.0.1 from 
4.3. His system is on a cable network.

He ran a speed test repeatedly before and after switching the system to 
5.0.1. I know this is not a lab test, but his speed tests (as run 
internally on a windows box) increased from about 7mb/sec to 11 mb/sec 
on the new version. The new kernel seems to be more efficient at routing??

A couple other comments.

I have never been able to get a wireless AP to run on a 486 WRAP box. I 
can see the wireless network. It interminably says connecting - without 
doing so. The exact same hostapd configuration on a PC Engines ALIX 
GEODE works just fine. Has anyone got hostapd to work on a 486 (WRAP) 
system?

I also have trouble finding 64mb or 128mb compact flashes that will boot 
on either WRAP or ALIX.

I use UCLIB 5.0 isolinux booted on a laptop to fdisk the CFs, erase 
partitions, set up a primary partition (c FAT32), make it bootable, 
mkfs.vfat and syslinux -s the CF. I have six CFs that work in windows 
but won't boot from syslinux even though I use the usb_wait=3 and 
libata.dma=3 on the APPEND line on syslinux.cfg

Any suggestions on where to get reliable CFs or what I am doing wrong.

Victor
