Now, there may be another way to go. There is a company that makes a
really cool adapter the plugs into an Ethernet port on a workstation,
and then does wireless. Here's a link to that:
http://macsense.com/product/broadband/wua800.html
With this device, I bet I could set up a thin client with Etherboot or
PXE, let it use its regular Ethernet port to boot from, and have this
box handle all the wireless stuff for me. You can configure it with
SSIDs and various other parameters, and the client machine has no idea
what's going on.
I'm so intrigued, I just ordered one to test. With one of these, I
might be able to turn any thin client into a wireless thin client.
This has actually been done successfully by several people. I've got a
d-link travel AP that has the capability of being a wireless-bridge.
Cost about $60 at Frys, and works quite well. there's also something
from Linksys called a 'gaming adapter' that also works well. And, you
can just take any old access point and use that in bridge mode, and it
should work just fine.
Take a look at:

Still, i'm interested in hearing how the Macsense product works.
Thanks Marty and see you at Linux World,

Anyway, I just wanted to put a few ideas out there. I hope some of
this is interesting and useful and will stimulate some conversation.
