Jim you can have as many cards in as many machines as you want, but you will need a WAP (Wireless Access Point) somewhere on you LAN for them to connect (wirelessly) to.
D-Link has some good prices and works well with Linux, I have a DCF-650W in my Sharp Zarus PDA running Linux and another in a Toshiba notebook running RH 7.2. The WAP is a DWL-1000AP. Just about plug & play Tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James Vellenga Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 3:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Wireless lan cards? Hello everyone, I currently have a home network connecting several computers through a hub, including my toshiba laptop running win98 to my linux box which provides all the network resources and connects to my cable isp. Currently my laptop is connected with a wired pcmcia network card (linksys) however, the dongle part is pooched and only works if I hope the plug just right :) Anyway, I was considering going to wireless for the laptop (probably will stay wired with the remainder of the network for now.) I have read some of the HOWTO's on this, but have some questions. 1. How well does it work to simply have a wireless network card in the laptop and one one in linux box (Think I have a pci spot open in the linux box) to connect the laptop to the rest of the network. 2. What wireless network cards have people used that are compatible with redhat 7.2 (this is what I am running in my linux box) I will be running win 98 on the toshiba most of the time but having compatibility with linux there wouldn't be bad either 3. Do you have any other advice for me.
