Supported Access Points

Access points that are set to MIXED mode (WPA1 and WPA2) may cause problems during association
because some of these incorrectly report their security mode.

We also currently do not support WPA2-Enterprise (radius server authentication, EAP-TLS)

The WiFly GSX should work with any standard Access Point. We have tested the WiFly-GSX module
with the following access points:

Cisco Aeronet series
Linksys (both standard and openWRT Linux)
Netgear WGR614 v8
Netgear WGN54
D-Link DIR-615
Airlink 101
Apple Airport Express
Buffalo Networks
AD-HOC MODE (Apple iPhone, Microsoft Windows PC with XP, Vista, Ubuntu Linux)
