I'm would like to use the ltsp in combination with wireless clients. I have
some questions about that which I did not find answered in the wiki neither
in the mailinglist archives.
I found some promising emails telling that wireless in combination with
notebooks works ;)
My questions:
- what is a good acces point unit (brand, vendor) to use. It is for a
maximum of 16 clients. Will any acces point or wireless router work?
- What is a good and known working wireless nic? Same as above, will any
wireless nic work, or only some?
- Related, but probably more difficult to answer; what is a good and known
working nic (pcmcia) for a notebook? Xircom does not work, but other pcmcia
cards?
I would be very careful when attempting to use LTSP over a Wireless
link. In addition to potential connection problems, you will have very
serious bandwidth problems. Maintaining an 800x600 screen over a
constant 100Mbps connection is difficult enough; dropping the speeds to
11Mbps (802.11b) would be all but impossible and 54Mbps (802.11g) would
be very difficult. Feel free to try, but I have serious doubts about
the potential for such implementations.
