... snip I have wasted money on WiFi PCI, PCMCIA and USB cards that had drivers that didn't work with Linux. I've had the best luck with WRT54 class routers with OpenWRT. The cost is about the same as a WiFi card, especially considering the time saved in not having to flog dead horses. OpenWRT doesn't seem to be very active these days, but my routers have just worked for years. I'm hoping for a RPi like router to come along to fill the need for a 'cheap enough to use everywhere' WiFi device. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
