Subject: [OS2Wireless] need 'ireless' hub....

No. Netgear's phone support is fubar they are having routing problems. (Can't connect to their new Indian support 
center....). Their EMAIL support is also screwed, two emails not responded too. 

Further research finds that the words 'multiple device support' missing from the Netgear's description. The pictured 
netgear hub has this statement and the same priced, WGE302 bridge has this phrase with the boast that it can connect to 
any hub/switch. The 604 doesn't make this claim. Since the special Netgear hub costs the same as the AP/Bridge, it's a no 
go for me. 

It's interesting to me, that the 604 is carried in all the major stores, and the 302 isn't, and is a special order. I've 
packed it all back up, and I'm off to complain to the CompUSA people. IF they wil swap me for a 302, I'll be happy. 

While doing this, I have a general question on Access Control lists. It states that you should use the same AC list for 
all AP devices. Why? wouldn't the primary one connected to the router/firewall be the last arbiter of the MACs? If it's 
infrastructure mode, do you need many AC lists? (I can see the point of it in Ad-hoc.)
