Greetings Asim, Did you ever have any success in using the WMP11 PCI card as a linux access point? /s/ Martin ======================================================= Tue Jan 15 18:56:59 2002 * Previous message: [TCWUG] Linux as an Access Point? <000142.html> * Next message: [TCWUG] Linux as an Access Point? <000150.html> * Messages sorted by: [ date ] <date.html> [ thread ] <thread.html> [ subject ] <subject.html> [ author ] <author.html> > > [...] > > Why are you not interested in using the adapter cards ?

I know you can buy pigtails for a bunch of the cards out there including the Orinoco (~ $40 for pigtail)... Over the weekend, I did end up buying the linsys WMP11 for my leeenux! The installation for client setup was pretty straight forward using the wlan-ng driver. Now I am going to try setting it up as an AP. I am not sure if Jouni Malinen's driver will work as someone had suggested earlier. That driver is written for PCMCIA cards, and I have a PCI card.....I suppose I will find out. Asim
