Mark,

I keep hearing about ppl getting linux boxes to run as a Access Point in
structure net mode (as below), but I don't see any info on how to make that
happen.

I am using the YDI cards - do you have any info on how to make this happen?
 I will happily test/make a LRP disk to handle this if I can get a little
direction.  I have made a LRP that works as a client in structure net
mode...not sure what I have to change to make it work as a AP.

Jim
