Hi, guys:

I am using a linksys WMP54G PCI card under FreeBSD 6.0 and managed to
set it to HostAP mode. Thanks for this great work!

However, it seems that this AP can only accpet 802.11g clients not
802.11b clients. I have been tweaking some options, but no success.
Specifically, I have set mode to 11b and set media to DS/11Mbps. But
the 802.11b clients cannot even see the beacons from this linksys
card.

Please let me know if this is possible, I'll surely appreciate it. The
following is the ifconfig output after tweaking.

ral0: flags=3D8847<UP,BROADCAST,DEBUG,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

Thanks in advance.
