I've begun setting it up. Not using DHCP, as there doesn't seem to be a facility to bind hostnames to DHCP-assigned IP addresses -- a minor nuisance as we use names for host-to-host stuff behind the firewall. Got the basics working, but WEP setup is proving to be a head-scratcher, as is Appletalk/IP between 802.11b machines and a wired server. Despite the lack of WEP I've restricted access to known MAC addresses, and I'll attack WEP tomorrow.
First impressions: thumbs-up -- it's an impressive piece of kit, and the decomissioned Omnibook will go to Feorag to be her web development box. (Uptime was 2 years and 31 days when I put it to sleep :)
