802.11b products are the way to go. Heck, you can bring your Libretto
equipped with a 802.11b card and sit on someone else's front porch and start
surfing:)
11Mbps 802.11b PC cards can be found for around $100. And wireless access
point (connects to your LAN) can be found for $200 and wireless router with
built-in 4 port LAN switch (sharing internet connection for both wireless
and LAN) can be found for $300. They all can reach speed up to 11Mbps. Intel
has yet to release any 802.11b product.
