[TriLUG] OT: Just bought a WAP11 and I'm pissed

[Greg Brown]

Roy:

I have a WAP54G running as a bridge connected to a Cisco AP-1200 and it
works great.  I don't remember the exact screens but I had to "Survey" the
wireless layout then select the unit I wanted to bridge to.  Works like a
champ.

I'll connect up to the device tonight when I get home to get you the
procedures.  Fear not, this may work after all.  Let's just hope the 54G and
the WAP11 work somewhat similarly.
