Yep. Anyone who sells 3com products, Cisco products etc.
You'll find that Access Point costs about 1800NIS (in Israel, about 260USD),
and that any wireless card costs about 1000 NIS (160USD).
Expensive. Too expensive.

Oh, did I mention slow? What will you do with 11Mb/sec? I find 100Mb/sec
hardly sufficient.

Ez.
