I also thought that someone might have comments about a wi0 as an
access point.  This used to work, but all clients (even windoze) seem
to loose association every 20 to 40 minutes (although the timing is

Not that I'm afraid of development, but I'm unfamilliar with the
difference between the revisions of acceptable wifi behaviour.
