This may be off topic but I found the PERFECT solution for me that is completely avoids Linux.....For less than $100 you can buy a standalone external wifi device that presents an Ethernet port to your laptop. I love it.
Bah, I just tried that with a Motorola Wireless Ethernet Bridge. I tested it and it worked fine, so I threw out the packaging. However, I next wanted to connect my backup box to it, but after connecting to the bridge, I could not ssh into the box. It seems as though the bridge does not let connections initiated from the wireless side through. I can ping the bridge fine (except it duplicates the responses, which is weird). Pinging the backup box works for only about 2% of the requests, and the responses are duplicated as well. Argh.
Anyone have good recommendations for an inexpensive bridge that works? Or a decent usb wifi adapter with drivers that will work well for the ARM architecture?
Anyone want to buy a nearly new wireless bridge (that works fine for connections initiated from the wired side)? I'm willing to trade for a suitable usb wifi adapter.
