Subject: Re: A Few Wireless Networking Questions
What I have is a couple of Webgear Aviator Cards from Frys. One is in
my lib and the other via the supplied ISA adaptor card in my Linux
Router/Firewall. This gives 2Mbps (1.2 actual sustained data rate) and
works very well, to the extent that my friends all bought some and I
bought more. Pricing is $149 for 2x PCMCIA cards & 2x ISA adaptor cards
from Frys. This is cheaper than using an ethernet cable adaptor, which
are *VERY* expensive.
