hostap should work, ad-hoc should work. by infrastructure you mean that the card operates as a 'station'? then it shouldn't work (correctly) as defined by the standard. commercial products tend to implement "mac-nat" or just simple dumb passthrough (which requires support on the ap side and is very much like ad-hoc mode). you would want to look into WDS for a standard way of dealing with bridging on 802.11 -- Sten Daniel Sørsdal _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
