Note: Orinoco Silver == 40/64-bit WEP.. you have to upgrade the cards to support 128-bit (which apparently you can do with the RG-1000's, if you install AP-500 firmware.. :) > On that subject, does anyone know if there is an incompatibility between > the Linksys WAP11 and the Orinoco Silver card?

Linksys broke WEP with non-Linksys devices in firmware release 1.4h3 (along with a bunch'a other stuff!); WEP works perfectly for me with Cisco 340 and Prism2-based cards on either 1.4g5 (Linksys-provided) or the SMC Firmware v1.4g7 (SMC makes a device that's got the same hardware as the WAP11, so you can load it's firmware onto it if you so desire). Basically, if you've got a WAP11, run 1.4g[57] on any device you want to be an access point, and 1.4h3 on any device you want to be an AP Client or PtP/PtMP bridge. Until Linksys or Atmel fix their firmware, that is. :) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
