The key here, for compatibility, for those who haven't seen the DWL900AP+ or
the DWL2000AP+, is that these devices connect through the ethernet port.
Whereas many (most) access points connect via the ethernet port, clients
usually use PCI, PCMCIA, etc. What's great about these 2 models is that you
can configure them to be an access point, a client or a bridge. There's
another mode; but I can't remember what it is. Also, you can only use one
mode at a time. Having a client connect via the ethernet port facilitates OS
neutrality.
