I'm putting together a new system for my mother-in-law. I bought here a Dell Inspiron minitower computer with FreeDos and then put on openSUSE 10.3. I've got it mostly configured and ready to deliver however, I need to fix one final item...
She currently connects to the network (cable) via a wireless card in her Win98 machine.
I was just looking to see which wireless NIC I could buy for her and still be compatible with openSUSE.
Since this is a desktop how about a WAP and reverse it, or like I do with this machine, an inexpensive wireless router (buffalo)
Oh, I had no idea buffalo was a router. (I have a few of those showing up on my list of wireless access points - along with the normal Linksys.)
configured as a reverse WAP. The machine knows no differance between a wire and the device and it needs no driver just configer it and away you go.
Interesting point - I'll look into this as well.
Good Luck, Mike
