The first time I forced the AP to llb the WG111 connected OK. I've since been rebooting both the W2K machine and FreeBSD machine over the last day or so and there is still a lot of unsupported auth 1 messages. Sometimes they eventually connect and sometimes not. Again, once connected they stay connected. Would a tcpdump reveal any more or should I be looking somewhere else for the problem? Also, do the parameters for the WG311T on FreeBSD need to be set in any particular order? Thanks, Geoffhelp
