Thanks. Don't worry, I'm not trying to convert a $600 laptop into a $30 access point! In fact, I already own 4 APs. A year ago, I wrote a howto for the openSUSE forums, and someone is trying to follow my prescription. He had some nasty things to say about the 3945 when I gave him the bad news. Unfortunately, he will be buying another wifi card and not an AP.
