Subject: OT: Wireless networking at home
I use my OpenBSD box as an AccessPoint. Just put
in a PCI-PCMCIA adapter card, slid in a Orinoco
wireless card and a few commands later I was done.
I choose the Orinoco card because it has a place
to add an extender antenna.

The card in my notebook is some old Addtron card that
I just plugged in and it worked. I suppose if it
didn't work right out of the chute I would know more about
it, but if it works........ :-)

When I choose my setup I had just read an article
in SysAdmin about using a FreeBSD box as an AccessPoint,
and also ran across this white paper:
