Thanks for the help thus far. I've finally made the corrections you
pointed out, and the box comes up with the module loaded, and seems to
be right... but I'm not able to make a connection to the box
wirelessly.
AP0="wlan0:sunflower:11:br0:wpa2:password:hidden,rekey"
above is what I have in user.conf. I understand that this means that
the SSID is "sunflower", operating on channel 11, bridge 0 (which in
this situation is "eth1 ap0"), wpa2 is the security type/protocol,
"password" is the password, and "hidden" means to hide the SSID...
don't know about "rekey".
Can someone confirm the above, and provide the appropreate option
alternatives (or where/how to find them)?
I have looked at the "iw" command, and read online some usage
examples, but none seemed to yield anything useful.
Thanks again,
John R
