DWL-900AP+ and MAC munching

[Craig Mead]

> Hello,

> I am having very weird problems when I plug my DWL-900AP+ into a hub or

> working whenever an AP is plugged in (in client mode) at any point in
> the network.
> Did anyone else have the same problem?  I have a feeling it is due to
> the way the AP deals with MAC addresses, and maybe inadvertently it
> 'steals' the paths and reroutes it to the AP which is at a remote
> location.  
> Would a solution be to enable MAC filtering and only enable the machines
> that are really going to use it, as well as our internet gateway
> machine?

> Any help would be great!
