Yep, I wonder if any of them support PXE over Wireless yet though. As I understand it, there's nothing technically limiting PXE over Wireless other than manufacturers building a BIOS/Firmware that would initialize the card and allow configuration of Default SSID (and WEP/WPA settings to I'd hope) before grabbing an IP address from the DHCP server and starting the TFTP download. I realized what you said about it no longer being a diskless terminal and you're right. But I've at least kept it to no moving parts by using USB flash drives. I guess right now it's a choice between complicating the network setup between the client and server (using the wireless bridge method) or complicating the local client config (by using the local boot instead of PXE). I just found the USB slightly cheaper with what I had here. Jay -- Jay Lee Network / Systems Administrator Information Technology Dept.
