Greetings, I am currently attempting to _enhance_ my WiMax (4G) availability. I have (live on) acerage, and by their standards, I'm no longer within their coverage area (forget about the fact that a year ago I _was_ in that map, and had to sign a 2yr commitment). Well, truth be told, if I go out to my "back 40", I _do_ receive a decent WiMax signal. So, what I need to do is setup my WiMax receiver/modem out in the "back 40", and attach it to a repeater (WAP11[1]), so I can use the service I pay for. The Linksys WAP11 seemed to be the perfect solution, but as it was "made for Windoze" setting it up isn't a trivial matter. Requires configuration via: USB/SNMP/AT76C510.MIB. Well, given that I picked this thing up used, it isn't configured in a default state (which might give me access via Ethernet). So given that, it's configured to for someone elses network -- meaning my only option is through USB. I see there is net-mgmt/ap-utils. But the documentation minimal, at best. So I had hoped that given this WAP11 has been around for so long, that I might find someone on the list to give me a "leg up". Thank you for all your time and consideration. --Chris Linksys WAP11: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WAP11
