using a wireless card w/ linux router / firewall

[Chris Friedt]

Thanks!!

I really enjoy being able to support local vendors. Usually I do all my
purchasing @ Canada Computer & Electronics, because I've found that they
are ridiculously dirt cheap. 

Then I took a look at TrendNet's site and saw that the price they
offered an improved model at 70% less than what CCE was charging!

Thank you for the suggestion, I'm going to buy from the manufacturer's
web site.

I've been using a trendnet card for quite a while and am quite
impressed
with it.

They even supply linux drivers for it.  The driver needed to be
compiled
but it only took about 2 minutes on my PII laptop.  The card has been
rock solid and one surprise: I have a Dlink b+ access point that is
supposed to do 22 mbps and though the card doesn't say it is
compatible,
I have been finding that I have been getting those speeds.
