I'm about to embark on a wireless experiemnt, having never dealt with this technology before. So, I've got a failry basic question. My plan was to put a wireless card in a machine running FreeBSD, and use this machine as a gateway from an existing network to a new subnet that would only exist in the wireless world. Some people are telling me that I can't do that. They are saying I need an "access point" device for all the various devices to communicate to. Am I on the wrong track here? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
