When you start getting this specific with regards to the requirements, my first impression would be to install a minimal distribution of your favourite OS type on a small single-board computer like a Soekris net4501 and the appropriate PCMCIA card(s). Alternatively, you could start with something like m0n0wall or pfSense, and add the WAP features you need, if they're not already included. Or maybe something like Tomato would also run on this kind of hardware? Have you looked at zeroshell? It looks like they support both Soekris and WAPs, with additional things like multiple virtual SSIDs, OpenVPN, etc.... See <http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/wireless-access-point/> and <http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/net5501/>. If you need to stick with a commercial product, then I don't see how you can avoid vendors like LinkSys, Netgear, TrendNet, etc.... Unfortunately, while their more capable models (like the Netgear ProSafe line) may be running Linux internally, I don't know how much they'll let you get into their internals in order to administer them. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
