Well this is what I'm doing with the Aironet stuff. I have a script
to flip between modes until it sync's up. I bought the PCMCIA ISA
adapter for $25 from a local surplus place.
BTW I saw ADDTRON http://www.addtron.com/ has a base station for around
$220 that can do 128 bit encryption, has an antenna and is Web administered.
I haven't used it but it looks interesting.
