[manchesterwireless] WRT54G - wireless client not working

[Morris, Peter R]

http://docs.sveasoft.com/SV-Wireless-BasicSettings.html

Wireless Mode - (Client/Access Point1/Adhoc) Router acts as a communication
hub for users of a wireless device to connect to a wired LAN. 

Client mode: This mode is used when we want the WRT54G to be connected to an
AP (Access Point) like a client device (i.e. emulate a PCMCIA card or a PCI
card). In this mode you cannot connect to the WRT54G that is in client mode
using another wireless client device. Also, you may have only one ethernet
device connected on the ethernet LAN ports (although this single ethernet
device could be a second WRT54G in AP mode.
