After searching the archives going back six months I have not been able to find much using "wireless" as the search string.
I am contemplating buying a wireless router and pcmcia adapter for my laptop and would like to have any recommendations as to what to buy. I currently use a Linksys router and have never had problems and may want to stay with the same brand but a change is not out of the question.
If you want to reply directly to me to keep list traffic low that will be fine.

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. Stan
