I think the keyword may be "wireless". I can see a distinct advantage to
going with a slower wireless network to the standard network where you get to
crawl around your attic stringing cable, cutting holes in walls for jacks,
etc.
Rather than wireless (still a bit pricey for me), is there a house electrical
wiring-based network system that works with linux? You know, those new
systems that use the already extant electrical wiring in the house for the
cable, requiring simply new wall outlets with special jacks builtin?
I don't want to crawl around in my attic either.
