Vladimir, >So question is: does anyone make Orinoco card work in LinkSys wireless >bridge mode ? According to the WAP11 User Guide: "Wireless Bridge - If you are trying to make a wireless connection between two or more wired networks, select Wireless Bridge. There are two options: Point to Point and Point to MultiPoint. : : Note: In Wireless Bridge mode, the WAP11 can ONLY be accessed by another wireless bridge. In order for your other wireless devices to access the WAP11, you must reset it to Access Point mode. The two modes are mutually exclusive."
