[MLB-WIRELESS] Running Enterasys Roamabout as an AP under XP

[Tom Fifield]

Hi All,

I'd run a PCMCIA Enterasys Roamabout (aka Lucent/Orinoco/Agere/Proxim 
Silver) as an AP under windows 98, but I've only just relocated the 
necessary files to do the same under XP and figured someone else might 
be interested.

My card is firmware version [Variant 2] 7.82, this may or may not work 
with other firmware versions and unfortunately I can't located the 
firmware updates to get it to this version.

Two files, three steps:

http://www.melbournewireless.org.au/~tfifield/agere/agere_driver_v7.82_&_firmware_update_package.exe 
(817k)
1. Grab this, extract and install the driver using the "have disk" method.

http://www.melbournewireless.org.au/~tfifield/agere/agere_wifi_client_manager_v3.30.exe 
(5.1Mb)
2. Install as per normal

3. Create a new profile and chose the mode as "Act as an access point".

Hope that's useful to someone.

Regards,

Tom
