We have not had any problems using many different manufactures with the Airport AP. The only gotcha is if you using WEP. Different drivers using different methods of entering the key. Some take it as a hex number, others convert a text string into the full key. We decided not to use WEP so I haven't played with enough to give detailed instructions. There seems to be lots of gotchas on getting WEP to work between manufactures. DaveD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
