To: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 21:32:56 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL82 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm just learning about wireless stuff so pardon my ignorance.. So these base stations (at least the WaveLAN ones) are just boxes with an Ethernet jack and a PCMCIA card jack, into which you plug a normal WaveLan card. And they cost $800 or whatever. So why can't a FreeBSD box act as the base station? Has anyone tried to implement and/or reverse engineer this? -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design, Inc. * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
