[Soekris] m0n0wall woes...

[william estrada]

Katherine,

   I am really confused about what you are trying to do!
     1) Are you using mn0nowall on your laptop?
     2) What equipment are you using?
     3) What wireless interface are you using, PCMCIA, PCI, router, ?.
     4) What is the WAP ? ( Linksys WAP54G? )
     4) Need a better topology map!

   We will be happy to help if we can.  Maybe someone will know how to fix the
problem.
