I've got a couple DS's (and a PSP :( ) at home and have been using them with various systems (FreeBSD and OpenBSD with Aironet and Prism cards and a Linksys 54WRTG) acting as access points. I don't seem to recall encountering any problems. What does the Nintendo wireless adapter attach as? Is there some reason you're hardcoding the transmit speed on your AP? I had no end of trouble trying to connect when I tried this. I believe that if you specify the transmit speed, then all devices must use that speed. Meaning, you can't have one using DS2, one using DS11 and your AP doing autoselect. At least I couldn't get that sort of setup to function. As for the WEP key, you should enter it just like you did on your AP. -Damian
