</div>eth1 gets autoconfigured, and all the internet connection sharing<br>
(technically, NAT and routing) is autoconfigured. Do _not_ try to<br>
configure eth1 or any of the other network devices you'll see.<br>

</div>15 access points - excellent! Well, if their ranges overlap, put them<br>
in different channels.<br>
<br>
You don't want 2 access points to be on the same frequency with<br>
overlapping range.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>And by non-overlapping ranges he means you can ONLY USE channels 1, 6, and 11, spaced out so that two APs with channel 1 do not overlap.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
If you connect them all to the same switch, set them all to have the<br>
same ESSID, and then the XOs will automagically connect to the best<br>
signal, and hop to a different AP if the user moves around.<br>
