Well, OK, I admit I knew that some people had implemented wireless
successfully, but now it sounds as if it is getting to be more of a
"mainstream" process, as opposed to bleeding edge.

I'll take your "detailed" road map, and see if I can implement it.

I like Mark's response, too; wouldn't it be great if that "problem" step
was one I could skip?

I was sort of hoping for a bit more detail, though, such as a suggestion
for _which_ hardware to buy. I'm leaning toward Intel, since I've had
nothing but good experience with Intel NICs. Is this a smart choice?

I've printed a BIG WiFi article from OS2Warp.be, and I'll see how much
it "educates" me.
