It should've... save that the WRT54G isn't really reknowned for its range or signal quality (although I'm itching to "ruggedize" one for outdoor usage by ripping it out and placing it in a water-proof electrical enclosure... just need to find a local seller of LMR-400 cables and antenna adaptors then construct my own power over ethernet injector and I'm off :D). It's notorious though for being hackable - you could even place a lot of apps if you'd flash the firmware (well, as long as they all would run within 16MB of memory...) As for the wild outdoors... trees are a bit of a problem for wireless networks, as they appear to be big walls of water that can attenuate the signal. -- 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 .
