Hi,
I have read the fine guide to setting up a wireless access point (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Building_a_Wireless_Access_Point_With_Gentoo) and have basic functionality. There are a couple things I can't figure out. First, if I try to set the mode to master I get
Code:

wlan0 does not support setting the mode to "master"


I have linksys wmp54gs card that I am using ndiswrapper to run. Is this a limitation of the card, ndiswrapper or me? I can run it as ad-hoc, but I was under the impression that master would run faster.

Second, I want to be able to set the connection so that you need a password to connect, not a many digit key as is shown in the guide.

Any help on either of these would be greatly appreciated.

hmm, just found on the ndiswrapper site that they only support ad-hoc and managed.
