There is my FreeBSD-server (the other one is Linux) and some clients are connected with a LAN-switch. Now I want to add a Wifi Router to the network. I am not sure if I can set up the router without using some Windows software what comes with the router. My questions: I just connect the Wifi router to the LAN and it should work? Or do I need any software (drivers) to keep the thing running? There must be some software to 'talk' to the router - for setup. Is there anything available for FreeBSD or do I need Windows environment (what I dont have available)? What did you use to install your Wifi-router? Every hint is welcome, thank you! herb langhans -- sprachtraining langhans herbert langhans, warschau http://www.langhans.com.pl herbert dot raimund at gmx dot net +0048 603 341 441
