Though I haven't looked, I would find it hard to believe there are no Linux drivers for any of the 802.11 cards on the market. There are many products out there including Linksys (who have linux drivers for most of their cards). Your hub need not be the same manufacturer. Cost would be arround $150 for the access point and $100 per machine. This doesn't mean you couldn't have several computers grouped togethre near each other. There are four in my house all in the same room sharing internet connection. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net "When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missle at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
