ap modes

Well, I have managed to flash my USR2450 up to the latest LinuxAP
build (2003-09-01) and have updated the secondary firmware on the
USR2445 pc card to 1.7.1 (I think newest that will work in my card
which is NICID 8002).

I loaded the 2002-06-08 image via Pretec card then used TFTP and
reflash to get the new image loaded. (MD5 does not match for on the
SRAM image that is on Keith's Website, but flash image is okay). I
used the flash.exe program to do the card. The card works fine
in my laptop as a client.

I have played with different runlevels (2.3.4). Can't get it to
function as an AP... (mode=Master) I can manually force my laptop and
the USR into Ad-Hoc mode and get packets to pass back and forth.

When in runlevel 3 (bridging mode) I can force it into Ad-Hoc
and then ping the AP from the wired network and from the wireless
network but pakcets aren't passing through.

Any more helpful hints?

I am adding some comments to Bruno's fact and will
pass it back to him once things are running.
