oh yes i got that , and i found a wiki showing in simple terms how to do that, but i need encpytion and a method of restricting access to the access point. have you seen any info on this? or do you think i'm making a rod for my own back  and should just buy a wireless router and use it as bridge to the core?
any help feedback appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

i've got the latest snapshot up and running etho-external-dhcp  eth1-internal-dhcp. but i also have a small wireless network i want to add the core. so i'm looking for help in setting up an access point in the core with encryption.

i have searched on here and also on the net with no luck. but i often can't see things under my nose.
any links will be gratefully apreaciated.

if its not possible or to complicated i was thinking of using a old wired xp machine with connection sharing to link the two. this not ideal but would it spread the service the wireless network?
