Hi,
I've been following the recent threads around wiress networking with interest, as I am about to setup a private WLAN locally. Here's some questions related to this:
1) Is this achievable at all with 8.1 ? Or will I have to upgrade to 8.2 ? I'm sill using 8.1
If so, why ? 2) What adapters could you recommend, iow are there any that will be recognised and configured (semi) 'automatically' ? Aside from editing /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0(or eth1 etc...) it was problem free for me. If it's a laptop PCMCIA needs to hotplug.
3) Is there a HOW-TO or anything similar for me to read up on this subject ? I inatially went and Googled Linux wireless and found lots to read.
