Hi All,
we got contracted by a company that purchased some Hopling Mark II
(www.hopling.com), - basically the same as Metrix
(http://metrix.net/metrix/products/packages) - Unfortunately we have very
little wireless experience and the company Hobling won't even answer a mail
within 10 days, they dont't provide manuals or mailinglists. As this system
is based on Pebble Linux I hope this is the best list to ask for some hints.
The MarkII (should) work on two frequencies:

So far in my opinion everything looks fine, correct me if I'm wrong.
"Cell: 00:00:00:00:00:00" and Link Quality:0/94" ?

The 2.4 11b cards communicate, while the 11a cards don't do anything. I guess
there is a stupid little thing missing: Any help is appreciated.
(The Hopling comes with some custom initscrips, maybe I should copy them
here?)
Thanks a lot
