So, I got it in my head that I wanted to take my windows laptop,
make it dual-boot with mandrake, and then be able to do wireless
ethernet on it. Has anyone mucked about with this stuff? Seems
like it should work with the Linux WaveLan drivers since it is
802.11 compliant. My employers have already successfully put
airport cards into windows laptops, served IPs from airport base
stations, and it works great.
The only problem is I don't have a macintosh to actually be able
to configure the airport base station. Yuck. Anyone know a
workaround?
All part of my quest to be able to hack linux and do web programming
on my laptop, out on the back deck on my cot, with no cords, drinking
a glass of ice tea.
(You can even solar-power your laptop with a $400 panel that was
linked to from /. a while back - they also had an article about
directional antennas for the airport - download software from the
top of spencer butte!)
