<P><FONT SIZE=2>George,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You are correct, AP mode is for connecting in Infrastructure Mode via an Access Point. You need either a commercial access point or a Prism2 based card (WL200, D-Link650?, etc) which has a custom driver available for Linux which allows these cards to act as an Access Point.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Currently this driver does not support Hermes chipsets (Orinoco cards, Enterasys, commonly anything else that is 30mW).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>So in answer to your question, no you can't run one of your cards as an Access Point.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have recently installed two enterasys cards one in my lap top and one in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>my PC. The cards talk to each other ok under win98 but when placed in AP</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>mode (with the latest enterasys driver) do not recognise each other. I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>deduce from this that AP mode is merely listening for an AP, what software</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is required for one of these cards to act as an AP and send out the AP</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>beacon?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>thanks George</FONT>
