If you're going to DYI, look for prism 2.x/3 chipset cards, such as the NetGear and some Linksys cards. Bring your cell phone with you when you go to BestBuy or CompUSA in case the customer service can't tell you what is what. Call the support line on the box and ask. ;-) The reason you want Prism chipsets is because they are the best supported under Linux for all of the cool Host AP software. Broadcom chipsets aren't supported all that well, IIRC, though that may have changed since last I shopped for cards. I wimped out and bought a Linksys WAP11. It works well enough, and I only have to reboot it every once and a while. ;-) -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
