Hi,

I've set up a sparcstation 2 / NetBSD 1.6Z{something} as an AP with nell
and a Netgear MA401 (43 EUR) which is prism3 based. The setup has worked
fine with a Powerbook G4 and an unencrypted connection. Unfortunately, the
NetBSD wep is incompatible with the MacOS (9) wep; a high-priority pr
(19111) is open and uncommented for a year now.

AFAIK, the AP code has not been back-ported to the 1.6 branch.

HTH,
	hauke
