First let me apologize for the misleading subject, it was late yesterday.
Thanks for the hint, indeed I was able to get a card for trial from D-Link and my old PC did not even want to start anymore. So much for compatibility.
Now I will have to see if some other product performs better.
Anyone, please comment on the routing setup, I am a complete newbie in that field and need a few hints.
Here the original stuff once more
DSL to ISP
|
eth0 dynamic IP
LEAF router/firewall ?? -- wireless --- ?? LEAF router
eth1 192.168.1.1 connection eth1 192.168.2.? subnet 192.168.2.0/24
| |
| (??.??.??.?? possible mobile WLAN station(s)
|

subnet1 192.168.1.0/24
Thanks
Erich

Hey Erich, I would be wary of the DWL-520 cards are they require a PCI 2.2 compliant system, which most "older" (more than a year or two) aren't. I ran into this problem and switched it to the Linksys WMP11 card (I think that's the model) and it worked without a problem.--Pat On Mon, 28 Oct 2002, Erich Titl wrote: > Hi everybody > > Similar questions have been brought up lately so please bear with me. > > I am about to build a WLAN connection to a remote subnet which should be > built up as follows: > > DSL to ISP > | > | > eth0 dynamic IP > LEAF router/firewall ??.??.??.?? -- wireless
