So excuse my ignorance, but how would you set up master or slave on
a linksys wpc11? I read about hostap mode, I even saw someone (Warner I
think it was) is using this same card. But the leds just blink when I
try to set it up with the above type of setup.

I can get demo ad hoc working fine, but not hostap, which is what I
think I need to get my handspring to work with the rest of the setup.

Any info would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanks,
