Yes, HostAP uses different speeds with each client, but AFAIK the way I understood was that it was suppose to connect at the highest connection rate possible to sustain a solid quality link, meaning someone right next to the node would get a 11mb/s connection while someone further out would get a 5mb/sec connection and someone else even further out might get a 1mb connection, it was all to do with what the quality of the link would support. And as it is now I can connect and see a throughput of about 800kb/sec using a laptop with a built in wireless card or using a tranzeo cpe-90 unit, I get about the same results. But if I connect using the tranzeo unit as an AP (uses linux os+senao or CB3) I get about 5mb/sec -----Original Message----- From: Manuel Kasper [mailto:mk at neon1 dot net] Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 8:12 AM To: Brett Woodruff Cc: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Subject: Re: [m0n0wall] M0n0wall HostAP wicontrol set to 2mb?

You could add that wicontrol command to config.xml (as a shellcmd tag).
