<tangent> I have had success with Belkin PrismII based wireless pci cards (the only ones I could find) for constructing HostAP access points. In fact, I have one sitting in a DEC Alphaserver that serves as a X11 server for a thin-client net-cafe network. The card provides the wireless access point for the network, and performs admirably, though I did have to change the station firmware of the card to allow clients to associate with it. </tangent> > -- > Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] > "This signature was once found posting rude > messages in English in the Moscow subway." > > On 2/10/06, David Andrews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Fri, 2006-02-10 at 12:17 -0500, Gregg C Levine wrote: > > > Let's see....
