O.K., but what if you need support for WPA-2 (PSK -
AES encryption), in order to access the wireless
router at a particular location, which is the
situation I've been dealing with. I bought the Asus
Wireless Access Point gizmo that Dani had written up
for VOICE, but that turned out to be a No Go for this
location, since it doesn't do WPA-2. Fortunately, the
Hawking ext. USB Nic I've been using *does* . . . but
I can't use it under eCS, which is what I would prefer
to do.

I was hoping GenMac might come to the rescue here, but
I don't believe it extends to the wireless ext. USB
Nics.
