Wired networks are very restrictive, but you really don’t appreciate how much freedom wireless can bring until you actually have it.
A couple of months ago we picked up a few wireless pcmcia cards on eBay. They are Cisco aironets which work perfectly in linux. You simply pop it in and it works (unless you’re using Suse, which is a little demented when it comes to network interfaces) immediately:
The only thing that remained “wired” was my desktop, so a PCI card was needed. I finally picked one up on ebay this evening, so I hope to have it in a few days:
Once I’ve got this installed I’ll finally be able to banish our rather noisy router (running pebble linux) to another room!!
