The drivers in the kernel and the ipw2200 ebuild don't support master mode. This project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipw2200-ap adds master mode support for ipw2200 cards although I have no idea what state it is in. It's not in portage but there are probably ebuilds floating around somewhere for it. -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
