I'm also drooling > to "go wireless" with my laptop--just haven't had the $$$ or time yet. Just to add to the fun... I've got the Novatel Merlin for Ricochet PCMCIA modem working. So, I can be wireless at near broadband (guaranteed 128Kbit, usually more like 220Kb) anywhere here in Phoenix. I'm thinking about a router/firewall/NAT based on FreeBSD that has both the 802.11b and the Ricochet cards in a notebook. That could wireless enable schools, conferences, work, parks, etc... -crl -- Chad R.
