This is what I have set: BRIDGE0="eth1 ap0" WIFI_ENABLE="yes" WIFIMODS="ath5k" AP0="wlan0:sunflower:11:br0:wpa2:password:hidden,rekey" I just checked the output of lspci, I'm good there also (I figured it would be good as I can see it recognize the card during boot up). I'll try with the "hidden" removed, just to be see something different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
