I agree -- since a big part of my plan is to configure a tool chain as part of the complete kit, I don't see that it matters much either. It's dreadfully important that the development tool chain not mix with the hosted system! (This stuff as a build engineer was critical to me.) You really don't want to use the generic built in compiler and have it wander around pulling in #include files from hither and yon! If I move ahead with this I will have the full docs for the board so smuggling them out of the factory in my lunch pail is not needed. So much for grandiosity. Meanwhile, I am fussing with my reflashed usr2450 wondering how anyone manages to do anything useful with one... :-) I guess I have to dig through email archives? Docs on openap site end with "welcome to linux" and are totally missing on linuxap site. Sort want details like... is it doing DHCP on the WLAN?? Is default config a P2P bridge? etc... Brian
