Re: [Gumstix-users] Verdex as Access Point

[ecrespin <eli...@gm...>]

Worked fine, thanks very much,

I substituted mwlan0 for rausb0 and tested with rt73 and worked just fine:
The windows client can see the verdex and can connect and establish a tcpip
link. I also tested with rt2570 package and works well too. Both this
packages come in the org.openembedded.snapshot collection.

Thanks again

Till the next!
