My friend, Bruce, recently bought out a large chunk of lucent's 802.11b
equipment and it selling it for _really_ cheap. If you've been thinking
about getting into wireless ethernet, or expanding what you already have,
this is a great opportunity.
The Cards:
PCMCIA 802.11b "Silver" Card: $60
USB Network Adapter ("Silver"): $70
USB Network Adapter ("Gold"): $85
PCMCIA to PCI adapter: $40
"indoor" range antenna: $50 (hehehe)
(i think the difference between silver and gold is just the level of WEP
encryption, silver doing 64bit and gold doing 128bit).
WAPs, Bridges and Routers:
RG-1000 Soho WAP Kit: $240 (basic kit, comes with 1 client too)
AP-500 Access Point: $250 (used to create large 802.11 lans)
OR-1000 Eth Splitter: $520 (more versitle ap-500, power from eth cable!)
That RG-1000 Soho WAP kit is pretty impressive, it does DHCP, NAT, bridges
to ethernet, if you don't have ethernet you can use a dial-up account.
It's quite small and light. It also comes with one card.
He's got some other more serious range stuff for connecting networks that
are like, miles away from each other if you are into that sort of thing.
anyway if you are interested or have questions email me, or just email
bruce directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cheers,
sach
