   Hey All!   
      
   Everything is starting to look good even on the mothership's web   
   display.  :-)   
      
   However I forgot to mention that the current zd1211rw based AP script   
   relies on a git'ed kernel, 2.6.39-rc3+ as we speak.  That is because AP   
   mode wasn't possible in earlier versions although one might be able to   
   remedy this situation by using the latest compat-wireless drivers.  See;   
      
     http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download   
      
   for details of how this could be accomplished.  Personally I can wait   
   until it all becomes mainline.  Still have a few issues with wireless   
   mesh and the ath9k card.  AP and managed modes work good on that card as   
   long as power management is turned off and a prescan is done before   
   bringing the interface up.  Mesh mode works okay as long as it acts more   
   as a client on a mesh network and doesn't serve or doesn't allow   
   downloading to another mesh point.  We'll see what the future holds as   
   there have been patches for ath9k as recently as 2.6.39-rc4-git2.  Again   
   I can wait as things as they currently are is better than it ever was   
   wirelessly speaking and I still am working on the current HOWTO for all   
   this latest experimentation.  Definetly getting there.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
