I turned the linksys on, booted FreeBSD, loaded if_wi and set my IP. It worked. I'm considering not setting up WEP and using IPSec. So far, I haven't noticed anybody finding me yet.

I use SSH/SSL for all my sensitive needs. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org http://www.lambertfam.org/~lambert/resume.html 3 years Sr. SysAdmin experience with FreeBSD in small & medium size ISPs.
