Mark,
I am wondering if the NetGear router uses DHCP routing that is setup to
depend on DHCP by Client Name. I have this on older IPNetRouter
software running 9.2.2 on a beige G3. You can config the setup to have
both a MAC address and a Client ID for each address where you want to
have a static DHCP address. If there is a name entered for an address,
the client/server requires that a name be entered into the DHCP Client
ID field in the Network System Preferences on the client. Remove the
name from the server config and the client will find its address from
the MAC address.
The server uses the name I have set in my Client ID field. I have both
an ethernet and airport config and use the same name in both. I do not
need to setup a second address on the server for the second interface
because the name overrides the MAC addresses.
You can trace NetGears scheme back to the original signal tower
protocols established by the Romans. They prepended a message
destination packet with the root name of the destination ;-x

I recently set up a wireless network with a NetGear WGR614 v2 router

I can't implement one of the security layers available in the router.
That's the one that limits access to the network to machines that have
their MAC addresses listed in a table on the router. The router setup
software requires the MAC address and the device name of the card.
The Airport card apparently has no device name.

Can anyone give me some advice about how to get these two pieces of
hardware to work together? I'd guess that I need either a way to get
a nameless car into the router's wireless card access list or a way to
attach a device name to the airport card.
TIA!
