The World of Wireless

Thursday, 22 April 2004

I’ve embarked on a strange journey in computer land. The other day I decided it was time to find out what all this wireless talk was all about. 802.11g this, and WIFI that, WEP this, and WAP that! HA!

My equipment thus far is a WRT54G Linksys router… (I think this was a good buy as it has a lot of “community” backing and seems to be quite “configurable.”) and the wireless card is the WMP55AG. It supports 802.11a/b/g and I have it running on Linux… kind of.

The madwifi drivers were difficult to install, but I found someone who knew what they were doing that did it before, and they helped. Whew… where do I go from here?
