I'm thinking about buying a Linksys AP to have at home when I have to give
the Cisco AP back. Only $252 at buy.com, compared to Cisco's $700+ cost (I
know, I lose encryption, but this is at my house and I could care less, plus
I use SSH for everything except generic web access anyway).

Jason,
I'm also looking at the Linksys for home and I'm wondering why you said that
you would lose encryption? I don't know squat about wireless but here is a
snippet from the Linksys website:
Features
- High-Speed Transfer Rate of Up to 11 Mbps
- Interoperable with IEEE 802.11b (DSSS) 2.4GHz-compliant Equipment
- Provides Roaming, Best Access Point Selection, Load Balancing, and Network
Traffic Filtering
- Supports up to 32 users/nodes
- Long Operating Range Supports 120m (indoor) and 300m (outdoor)
- Advanced Power Management Features Conserve Valuable Battery Life
- Hardware Wireless Encryption Protocol
- Compatible with Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT v.4 and Millennium
They said that it is interoperable with 802.11b
and they say it has Hardware Wireless Encryption Protocol.
Here's where I got the info, the device is the WAP11 Instant Wireless
Network Access Point.

Are we talking about the same thing/device?
