I don't have an answer to your specific question, but if you can afford it, take a look at Lucent's wavelan. It is not cheap (about $170 per node, and if it is to be used with a desktop you will need to get an ISA adapter as well), but it works great. It is a fast (11 Mbs), wireless network which has Linux support directly from Lucent. You can download from their web site the Linux module and source code is available. Then you can forget about wires. Avi "Paul W. Abrahams" wrote:
The April 4 issue of PC Magazine has an article on networking via phone jacks, which for a home network has the obvious advantage that you can avoid the need for custom wiring between the machines. But all the software discussed there is for (ugh!) Windows. The system requires a PCI-based card in each machine.
Has anyone heard of a way to use this sort of networking under Linux?
