Looking for a device that is the size of a USB Pen drive yet acts as a WLAN Access Point? Of course you need a USB Port so it can’t act on its own externally, but its small size makes it very useful.

I don’t think that’s an access point… just something to get a PC onto a wifi network through USB… It’s a client tool, not something that broadcasts for other PCs to connect to. And there are lots of those out there, some even smaller than that one. :-)
Well in the documentation it even states how you can use it as an AP, so there :-P
hmm… where’s the documentation you refer to? I see nothing of the sort on their site. The demo video, the usage model, both show it as a client to give a laptop or other PC wifi access.
I think you might be reading about one of their other products. It couldn’t be an access point, except in the way any PC with a wifi card can be turned into an access point of sorts.

I think it’s the new ZyAir G-220 that is supposed to be the subject of this news. The B-220 has been arround for a while. The G-220 is new and it’s the one that is referred in the press communiqué as having a “Soft AP” function (whatever it is).
Has anyone hacked this device to work on Mac OS X?
I wish someone has, as I bought one, thinking it would just work…but it does not… the D-link driver doesn’t not seem to enable it either…OSX 10.4.1 iMacG4 800Mhz
