I understand what you mean. I thought of this but I want to go where ethernet cant go. I need to use the same wireless card for Simultaneous Bridge + Access Point + Repeater Like the OpenAP but unfortunately it doesnt work on pc http://opensource.instant802.com/what_is_openap.php I still dont understand one thing. If the OpenAP can do this and the sources are available. Why can't somebody write a little program for FreeBSD which will do the same on PC? =) Evren On Sat, 17 Aug 2002, Alan B.
