Part 1 (Answers last questions first). Google Linux WiFi Networking Overview Google Linux Wifi Networking Administration Overview if you want more general remove the word "WiFi" Part 2 (Asides to be ignored: :) ) for my own needs i just use a crossover cable and skip WiFi entirely - probably because in more ancient times i've done connections between machines via null modem serial port cables. i don't need WiFi here and i dislike broadcasting anything for no reason other than to avoid a cable run. songbird
