Hi,
Sorry for the slight OT. On Monday I'll have a new shiny MacBook
Pro at
home :) (where I will install Gentoo, of course). For this reason, I'd
like to have wireless at home.
So I'm planning to buy a wireless router to share my current DSL*
connection. Since my knowledge on wireless is practically none (I
never
owned a notebook since 386 days), I'd like to hear what Gentooers have
to say on how to choose it.
I was also thinking about *building* the wireless router by using
one of
the old boxes I have at home and good ol'Tux. Is this possible? In
this
case, what kind of wireless hardware do I need to attach?
It sounds like what you really want to get is a Linksys WRT54GL[1]
that you can then flash with something like dd-wrt[2] or OpenWRT[3].
