IPCop blue interface, Wireless NIC


Just seeing if anybody has ever tried to use a Wireless NIC for the blue interface on an IPcop machine, instead of using a regular NIC attached to a Wireless Router/AP. I'm not sure if a Wireless NIC would be able to host multiple clients, for it's usual purpose is to be a client itself, but maybe someone knows something I don't. Thanks.

Brian.

If your thinking of using a wireless NIC for routing purposes I would forget it for many reasons including reliability and security. I also doubt that IPcop includes drivers for wireless NICs.
