[MLB-WIRELESS] Minitar WEP Problem - Please Help!

[Adam H.]

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your letter, however, this concerns me even more.

According to Freenet Antenna's, their is a problem with SVEC units 
connecting to a Minitar, if the SVEC unit is the client, and the Minitar is 
the AP.

Howver, they don't seem to have a problem with Minitar's (Model MNWAPB) 
running as the client, connecting to SVEC access points.

And I don't have a problem either - until I turn WEP on. Then, connection 
doesn't happen. I have tried this while connecting to different SVEC units, 
with the same problem each time.

To tell you the truth, I was hoping that this was a common problem, and 
someone was going to say 'Oh - that's coz you're running the default 
firmware, and you need to upgrade to this', or something like that.

I really don't want to hear that I've bought these minitars, and they're 
useless to me.  :-(

Is the dlink DWL-810 the best replacement unit for the SVEC's (considering 
that it would need to connect to SVEC's in client mode).

Thanks & Regards

Adam.
