No.1 it works waaaay better on my internal network then the wired NIC driver!! I am able to connect to all my boxes!! No.2. As I suspected the driver is a "light" driver with no security abilities at all so there for I created a new Vlan on my wireless radio and lots of deny any any statements in extended ACL's to prohibit any 'unauthorized' users from accessing any more then the Dialer0 interface (internet) and internal DNS servers on port 53. Some nice developer wana use my system as guinea pig for both 802.3 and 802.11 interfaces??? Well... that's all for now! --Kaya
