Hi,

I thought it might interest people on this list to know that it is now possible to use an OpenBSD 3.1 box as an access point.  You have to use Prism II or 2.5 cards though.  Apparently, the code has been adapted and rewritten from an original Linux implementation.

The announcement:

A first report and config example:

I have successfully used a Linksys WMP11 Mini PCI card on this box, and it works like a charm.

cheers,

Jakob.
