Hi all
Just a couple of quick questions to you folks that know so much about 802.11. Firstly, do I really need a base station?
I don't use one.
I have my new ibook here and I want to grab the airport card to use with the Cisco Aironet base station at work, but I was thinking is it possible to just throw an orinoco card or something in my Linux box gateway and use that in place of a base station while I am at home?
I did this: http://www.freebsddiary.org/wireless-install.php <== The point of the article is installing FreeBSD over a wireless NIC, but part of that process involved creating a dual homed box, with one NIC as a Orinoco card, the other a regular card. -- Dan Langille pgpkey - finger dan(a)unixathome.org | http://unixathome.org/finger.php --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
