Probably my logic is wrong. I'd be interested to see your configuration, especially the output of ifconfig -a. -Snow I’ve been experimenting with something similar, but running into some problems I don’t quite understand with if_bridge and if_vlan.

Just wondering where you got yours from? From the States or from Europe? Also, did you get a case with yours? If so, did you "hack" the case to allow for the rubber duck antenna for your Belkin F5D7000? Hi, I’m planning to get one of these Soekris 4801 boards. Just wondering where you got yours from?

I managed to break one of the HD mounting pins from the HD kit, they where happy to snail mail me another one. I'm using the smallest standard Soekris case, hence why the side of the WiFi card was important. To be honest I ended up munging the case a little bit after a bit of measuring, I was off by a few mm. So after a bit of filling it fits. The Belkin card has a reverse SMC connector on iirc, so I had to make a hole for that to go through. I have a rubber duck antenna and a 2.4Ghz antenna on a 2m lead.
