The first thing I noticed was the multiple quotation marks and the incorrect mode. Does it work better as: ifconfig_wlan0=3D"inet 192.168.200.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 ssid wrouter0 mode 11g channel 1" or, to make it cleaner: ifconfig_wlan0=3D"inet 192.168.200.1/16 ssid wrouter0 mode 11g channel 1" Will the AP be routed or bridged? If it is bridged, there is no need for it to have an address. --=20 R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer - Retired E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
