You can try locally-available routers and adapters with the Prism54 chipset (v2.0, not version 3.0), e.g.: Linksys WRT54G router D-Link Air-Plus DWL-G650 PCMCIA card (just attach it to an appropriate PCI adaptor) 3Com Office-connect PCMCIA card (same treatment as above) Unfortunately the Linux driver for prism54 doesn't yet support WPA-PKI - so you stay with WEP for "wireless security". Personally I would prefer Senao/Engenius wireless gear, but I've yet to see it locally available for purchase here (have to import them elsewhere) so I settled for a Netgear WGR614 router and WG511 pcmcia card instead that I got as a Christmas gift :D. > If no satisfactory 802.11g solutions exist, how about > 802.11b instead? -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
