Ok since I need to save on electricity at the moment I decided to turn my FreeBSD fileserver/gateway into my wireless AP as-well.
I'm running :
And have a
card.
I have it set up:
with WPA.
Now originally I had the card in 11g mode on channel one and was presented with tons of the following errors which lead to the box crashing.
After reading everywhere it was suggested by some to change channel and others to change mode, hence I did both. I have not received a single error message after the changes, however I REALLY need the 11g mode!
What can I do to make this work properly?
