I read about hostap mode, I even saw someone (Warner I think it was) is using this same card. But the leds just blink when I try to set it up with the above type of setup. I can get demo ad hoc working fine, but not hostap, which is what I think I need to get my handspring to work with the rest of the setup. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks, -mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
