Hi all... Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be setting up a wireless (802.11g) network at home to allow a number of machines to share a new DSL connection. In particular, I need to get a wireless card (PCI) for my LFS desktop, and get it working.
Can anyone offer advice on this? Based on what I've read (and what I can actually find to buy), I'm probably going to buy something based on an Atheros chipset, though if anyone has other advice, I'd like to hear them. What I'm mainly looking for here though, is what kind of software I need to install (drivers, tools, etc), and what kind of configuration I need, both to get it working, and to get it working securely (WEP, WPA, etc). I don't actually know much about wifi networks, so any good advice is welcome. Because the machines aren't currently networked, I'm not running DHCP, but I believe the router/AP supports it so I can set that up if needed. Thanks in advance. Simon.
