Your last post is correct. The Intel 5000 AP is not 802.3af
compliant. It is "pre 802.3af" compliant. There are only a few older
switches that will work. I am now using a lucent switch made in
2003. It works. The 2006 netgear swtich does not. Looks like you
can't trust the documentation from Intel. Thanks for your help.
