Just to clarify, these tools are standard in RedHat. For example, in RedHat 7.3, the packages kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-18 and wireless-tools-23-2 are installed. In fact, things were so well configured that I went to a nearby AirPort-equipped coffee shop, plugged my Orinico card in my Inspiron, and I was live on the net before I had even decided how to start poking around to get it working. Wow. That's the end-user side of things; I can't say much about base stations. Only thing that comes to mind is I think I remember reading about a Linux tool for AirPort configuration... Oh, and I remember a tutorial, somewhere on the O'Reilly site, that talked about how to build a Wireless router using a WiFi card in a PC. Always struck me as a cool little project. Yes, here are some links: http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2002/04/11/enterprise.html http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2001/03/06/recipe.html The latter is "Recipe for a Linux 802.11b Home Network." shawn. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
