Hmm, ok...  I use it and it works quite nicely.  Well, at the moment I just
have it firing off DHCP since I have that available on both home and work
networks, but in the past I've set it up to pull various IPs based on the
type of card that's inserted...

I set up my AP with DHCP, and it just works.  Well, unless I try to do
the WEP stuff.  Haven't gotten that working yet.
