Hi, 

We have some Cisco 350 access points. Is it possible to make them work properly
with Linksys WAP11 (Version 2.2)
units? Some more details:-

I have the Cisco set in "Root access point" mode and the WAP11 set in  "Client
access point" mode.

I have done some experimenting on the bench with these units but I cannot get
traffic on the WAP11 ethernet port to
be passed to the Cisco unit.

The WAP11 appears to associate correctly with the Cisco, that is until you try
to pass traffic over the link, then
the WAP11 disassociates with the Cisco, re-associates, disassociates etc!

I have tried specifying the MAC address of both the ethernet and wireless
interface of the Cisco 350 in the setup
page for the Linksys WAP11.

I have tried 1.009 and 1.01c firmware in the WAP11, the Cisco is using 11.20T I
think.

Any help with this project would be *very* welcome.

(Is it possible to make the Cisco 350 access points in to 350 bridges? I am
assuming the hardware is probably the same?)

Thanks

Mike
