Of course, when I plug in an MA401, everything works fine...silly me...I thought this was some sort of generic PCMCIA <-> PCI bridge that would work with other wireless cards....:-( (one other security issue related)... From what I've read, there's really no way to keep another wireless card from associating with your access point, correct? Does this matter? If the payload is encrypted (IPSEC) and the access point (hostap) firewall (desktop freebsd box) only allows esp and isakmp traffic in and out on that wireless interface, then it should be fine, correct? Do I also need a firewall on the laptop (for esp and isakmp traffic) or is there no way to associate with the laptop and get traffic *through* it? --Sam On Sun, Feb 09, 2003 at 01:32:45AM -0700, M.
