I will send you a complete set of modules, madwifi.lrp and wireless.lrp
with the latest HAL update from yesterday.
Yahoo!!!!! it works! (sort of).
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Eric, after you sent me the newest packages and modules I loaded them on my
backup router. When I loaded the modules manually I no longer received an
error message when passing the autocreate option to the module so I knew we
were on the right track. The AP still didn't seem to work correctly though.
The mode was not being setup properly. Then I decided to try this on my
production router using all the same options. This one works perfectly (so,
there must be something odd about the old machine hardware I have). I can
scan, find and connect to my AP from my laptop. Now the last hurdle I have
is to be able to get on the internet with it. For starters, I can't even
ping my AP. Here are the paticulars-

BTW, I notice wlan_scan_ap is unused. I guess this module is for running
wireless as a client not the AP, correct?

I suppose I have missed something obvious so I won't be offended if you tell
me I have an "ID10T" error. (It has been a long day for me as I'm in the
process of moving). Also, I may not be able to respond quickly as my phone
service is being moved. My provider won't even be able to tell me if my DSL
will work until the line is acutally conncected at my new location and they
run some tests so here's hoping for the best.
Finally, as promised before if I can get this all to work I will be glad to
write up a chapter for the Bering User Guide.
Thanks everyone!
