On the router/access point side check http://www.sveasoft.com/ for linksys WRT54G firmware substitutes. They try to sell you a yearly firmware and support contract but I believe you can still find the latest released firmware free on other sites such as http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php. Its Linux based just like what Linksys/Cisco provide.
What's interesting about this firmware replacement is all the features and enhancements they've incorporated. Signal strength boost, better firewalling, etc so it becomes more than Linksys/Cisco provide.
I ended up buying the Linksys WRT54G wireless router and the Linksys WPC54G adapter. Once I got the ndiswrapper setup (no need to buy anything from linuxant) complete and the network configs setup it is working including WEP, well I can connect to the router at least (login to the config setup), as I have not connected the router to the WAN(DSL modem) yet. That will be tomorrow. Much thanks to Stan Glasoe for his assistance and pointers. After I have compiled my notes I will post them here for future reference for anyone needing pointers for these devices. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*
