I've got a Soekris 4801 with an Ath 5212 miniPCI card in it that is running 3.8 currently. I should have some downtime in the next couple weeks and I plan on upgrading to 3.9. I'm hoping that 3.9 will allow 11g to work, otherwise I'll probably just buy a Ralink card in the near future and call it a day.
I'll respond here and let everyone know how it works out. On 5/7/06, Melameth, Daniel D. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Melameth, Daniel D. wrote: > > Is ANYONE doing hostap with 802.11g?
