Yes. I've been using different versions of some patches by Doug Ambrisko to do this for the Cisco/Aironet 340 cards for a while now. See http://www.ambrisko.com/doug/an; read the notes. >Maybe airolan does this? Not sure what is meant by this. (If I recall correctly, the Lucent/Orinoco/Agere/...(whatever) cards have had this support longer, and that is what Pete Shipley has been using in his efforts. You may find the mailing list archives at www.bawug.org to be of some interest.) Cheers, david -- David H.
