If not, does anyone know of any base stations in the sub $500 range that work reasonably? I am not really that worried about WEP and SSID while I am at home, because I will set my DHCP server up to only assign my card an IP address and use an encrypted tunnel to get to the net.
They are about $1000 in Aus but only $199 in the US =) Sometimes cheaper than that on eBay. :^) Sometimes more expensive than that on eBay. :^(
There are some absolute deals to be had on ebay (trademe is good too, but there's just not the same kind of volume... and there never will be), you just gota' know how to search, snipe and not get fscked by the budding 12year old fraudsters working out of some bangladeshi internet cafe'. Japan data point: 802.11b 11mbps wireless access points seem to be selling for a wide range of prices, with the low end being ~18000yen and the high end ~40000yen. All client end equipment (PCMCIA cards, PCI cards and USB devices) are all priced at ~14000yen. Setup and drivers, of course, are all in Japanese, but the boxes do have nice little penguin logos that tout their linux friendlyness... and that, my friends, trancends any language barrier. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
