You can talk to Julian Elischer (julian@FreeBSD.org). I believe he worked for a company that was developing a binary only driver for the wavelans that would allow it to be a base station. You would have to purchase this driver I think, but it would be much cheaper than buying an access point. :) -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
