To: current@freebsd.org Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2000 17:19:20 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL68 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG There is also a new access point (either just available or "RSN") from Zyxel (316); it is a combination of a 310 (cable modem/bridged DSL/PPPOE router) and single-card bridged access point. I'm using one at work (overkill since I'm not using the router) as a bridged access point; it works just fine in that role (plug the ethernet into the "LAN" (10/100!) port and leave the "WAN" port empty). Stock it only comes with 40 bit but maybe could be used with a gold (or equivalent) card (haven't tried it, though). The card it comes with is OEM'd by someone (Melco?) and does have an antenna jack. At home I'm currently using a Lucent card in a FBSD machine as a base; IBSS create does work; it gets a hybrid between BSS and ad-hoc mode (at least the client connects in infrastructure mode). In this mode the client is transmitting a lot, though; makes the laptop power supply get pretty warm. -- Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
