Barns & Noble brags about having wireless.  This is way out of my comfort
zone so I am hoping for some advice.

They have a white paper on using their Internet connection but are out of
it.

Questions:

1) Any suggestions of what steps might be needed to use this on a Win 2000
system?  Could it be as simple as showing up and turning on?

2) Without the white paper how does one know if it is A, B or G etc.  Or, do
we care.

3) While the laptop is W2K it is destined for Linux (probably ubuntu) when
the 2K need (cust requirement) expires, Therefore I am looking for
suggestions for a USB wireless device that will like W2k, like Linux and
like Barns & Nobel.

4) Is there a risk of painting myself into a corner (lack of planning)
whereby it will not work at... say a Stammtisch or East Side/West Side
meetings?

While I have taken every reasonable precaution to minimize the risk of virus
transmission through email, I cannot accept liability for any damage which
you sustain as a result of software viruses.

It is the responsibility of the recipient to ensure that they have adequate
virus protection.
