In WebTechniques magazine, Lincoln Stein briefly mentioned his home
network set up and how he has wireless LAN cards for his laptops. He
drops a few name brands that may point you in one direction or another.
Sounds really cool, though.

| 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!)
