Thanks andy.

I think I am going to try to set up the ME102 as the AP, even though my Linux box is actually the gateway. This is sort of inefficient as I have several other machines on the wireless leg and their traffic will now have to go through the ME102 on its way to the Linux router, but I can deal with this if it will allow the ME102 to talk to my wireless network.

I didn't see anything in the USB configurator to specifically set it to an Ad-hoc client. I don't have the software in front of me, but I remember the settings being Access Point, Access Point Client, and Wireless Bridge. I don't know that Wireless bridging and Ad-hoc are mutually exclusive, but that might be the case. If it is, that is most likely the source of my problems. I can try downloading the latest firmware/software configurator for the Linksys WAP11 and see if it has an Ad-hoc mode setting, but I think I will save that one for last. We'll see how it goes.
