[lug] Wireless bridging question?

[Ben Whaley]

Mike,

I have a modded Xbox (running Xecuter, not Linux) with the Microsoft
wireless game adapter, and it works GREAT. The only downside (and for
me, it's a big one) is that it doesn't support WPA - only WEP. I had
to modify all my wireless network devices to use 128 bit WEP PSK due
to this. However, it is 802.11g and streaming works great.

Hope that helps.
