I'm right now toying around with one of these
cards (A Dlink DWL
650+). I am using the FOSS driver, but I have the following problem:
- the drivers inserts fine, no crashes, ...
- but the card doesn't see my Accesspoint, even though ESSID and channel
correspond. No WEP is configured.
The access point is a KTI KW-111. The AP had previously worked with a
different card, so by itself, the AP should be ok.
A few (generic) questions
- if I only need the WLAN to connect two PCs which I can't connect to
each other otherwise, do I _need_ an AP?
- how can I secure my internal LAN ? prevent war drivers from using my
net, my IP etc...
- is an AP necessary? is it possible to secure it or to limit access to
specific ETH adresses?
