Here's a real corker for you fine folks:
I have an old 3400c that I was going to press back into service as a "temporary" wireless access point so that I could have an internet connection in the conference room down the hall from my office. Non-University-sanctioned network equipment (routers, hubs, wireless points, etc) is expressly verboten, and incurs hefty financial penalties.
SO - I thought I might set up the previously aforementioned 3400c as a "closed", non-broadcasting access point. It currently has a 3rd party Orinoco Gold card running Proxim's Orinoco drivers, and works absolutely flawlessly as a client.
The Proxim software will let me create a peer-to-peer network, but it won't let me share the network from the ethernet through the Gold card, and it certainly won't let me create a closed/hidden network, although it will let me connect to one.
A quick check of VersionTracker & MacUpdate reveals nothing....
Any thoughts?
