I'm trying to set up a laptop as an Access Point.  I've got
an Orinoco Gold wireless card for receiving and a LinkSys Etherfast for
the connect point to the wired network.  I want to be able to have several
other wireless devices reside on the same network as my wired devices.

I've met w/ limited success.  Wired machines could contact the AP (ping) and
the wireless machines could contact the AP (ping as well) but couldn't
ping each other.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
