If indoor the easiest solution is to buy some NCR wavelan or DEC roamabout cards (http://www.wavelan.com, or http://www.networks.dec.com and search for RoamAbout). > Sorry if this has been discussed already in detail, I just could not find > it in the archives. > Well yes it has, but I personaly don't mind getting you started with this. Regarding Wavelan: jrb@cs.pdx.edu and miff@spam.frisbee.net.au have both worked hard at a 2.2-R compliant driver (actualy there is something submited to the 3.0 sources right now, and it works, except I haven't had time to test the multicasting part which has changed from the original driver. buaas@wireless.wdc.net has also made a few mods necessary to make the new 2.4 GHz. wavelans with dautherboard work. I am in the process of recompiling to test his new code with my (very old) 900 MHz. full height wavelan cards. What's your situation like? Berniehome | help
