Good to see the positive responses on the USB sticks for wireless
devices. But I posed a question a few days ago with no responses
hum. I don't seem to have it; what was your original subj?
as to whether anyone has tried with any success the Mac-compatible
wireless 802.11b USB card sticks? Like, say this:

These sound interesting.
We've been contemplating adding a WAP recently. Had a few here over
the past year for testing. Now we're thinking it would be nice to be
able to use a an older laptop in the living room or out on the porch.

My housemate bought a noname usb device of this type for use on his
Dell laptop, while he travels. It works. But the connections are
never as high-quality (fast, stable) as its hype led him to believe.
In fact, they're so fritzy that for his trip to CES, he found his
cell phone/modem hookup was usually faster.
That particular auction ... maybe I missed it, but exactly what make
and model device is this guy selling? He spams a lot of company
names (which is against eBay rules), but I can't find the actual
product's manufacturer?!
