think about what you are trying to do. designing a NIC let alone a wireless NIC is a complicated task indeed. on the other hand designing just a radio interface i.e. a transmitter and receiver on both ends while still fairly complicated is still doable. but for a wireless NIC, you will need resources that even some of the organizations will envy. plus a detailed knowledge on the PCI protocol, ethernet, and yes radio communications. getting hold of a circuit diagram, designing a PCB for the same, and then soldering the components together would just be a small first step. > as i said .. i'm looking for a wireless solution .. cat 5 is cheap > and easy i know but that is not what i want ... i saw an article at > slashdot which got me interested and so i asked here .. all great ideas start somewhere :o), not all are practical though. strictly as a designer, i would say that anything is possible and i wish you all the best. think about just a radio interface, and be sure that you do not violate any of the designated frequency bands, the security agencies can get very picky about unauthorised radio transmitters. mario [who has debugged a NIC, and designed a PCI/PCIX core] -- Mario Michael da Costa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------- The opinions expressed in this mail are mine and may not reflect those of my employer. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
