I also read somewhere (didn't bookmark the link, and a quick search doesn't turn it up) that you can pull the MiniPCI card out of the DWL-G520, and put it in most laptops - apparently, the antenna connector is the same. So my laptop might just get a 802.11g upgrade if I do go that route.. -- Nate Carlson | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list@tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list From dieman at ringworld.org Wed Sep 3 12:39:33 2003 From: dieman at ringworld.org (Scott Dier) Date: Tue Jan 18 11:34:00 2005 Subject: [TCWUG] Re: Linux support for Atheros 802.11g In-Reply-To: References: <1062553073.9121.30.camel@3po> Message-ID: <20030903173931.GE3414@ringworld.org> * Nate Carlson [030903 10:54]: > Strange, I was just looking at this last night, for my new condo that's > going to be *very* difficult to get ethernet down to the living room I've been able to use HomePNA with success in my condo.

If you need a spare nat + 4 port 10/100 switch device, you can go buy the d-link DI-624 for $109.99 ($79.99 after mail-in rebate), it's an 802.11g access point with a mini-pci adapter that will work fine in your laptop. -- Matthew S.

I looked about 2 years ago, and couldn't find squat. I actually want a bit more than 10mbit (the box that will be in the living room is going to be a box running MythTV, so I want to make sure there's plenty of bandwidth for video.. 10mbit *should* be enough, but more won't hurt); I've heard that with 802.11g you can realisticly expect ~15-20mbit, so I figured that'd be a bit better.. :) -- Nate Carlson | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list@tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list From dieman at ringworld.org Wed Sep 3 13:28:07 2003 From: dieman at ringworld.org (Scott Dier) Date: Tue Jan 18 11:34:00 2005 Subject: [TCWUG] Re: Linux support for Atheros 802.11g In-Reply-To: References: <20030903173931.GE3414@ringworld.org> Message-ID: <20030903182803.GF3414@ringworld.org> * Nate Carlson [030903 13:23]: > On Wed, 3 Sep 2003, Scott Dier wrote: > > I've been able to use HomePNA with success in my condo.

Just walk into a room full of nerds and say, 'I've got Safari.' About 10% of them will be scratching their heads, wondering why it is that you're bragging about having the latest and greatest OS X web browser, but the rest will be drooling and calling you horrible names. They will call you horrible names because they're jealous. They'll be jealous because they're sick of finding lewd photos of tennis rackets when what they really want is help." For the rest of Rory's review go to: http://www.neopoleon.com/blog/safari.aspx User Group members can participate in our "Go On Safari" introductory program. To "Go on Safari," any UG member who signs up for our Safari 14-day free trial can send comments on their experiences, or tips and tricks for how they used Safari (it only needs to be 2 sentences long, but it may be longer) to safari_talk@oreilly.com. (Please include your UG name in the email.) Every week someone will be chosen from the tips or comments submitted to receive fun stuff from O'Reilly (T-shirts, book bags, or other surprises). If a member of your user group is selected, your group receives a free gift, too. Whatever the individual member receives, your UG will get one, too, to give away at your next meeting, or use however you see fit. Recipients--and their comments--will be announced in this User Group Newsletter. **Please use this special UG URL to sign up for the 14-day trial http://www.oreilly.com/safari/ug For more information on Safari: http://safari.oreilly.com/ ================================================ News From O'Reilly & Beyond ================================================ --------------------- General News --------------------- ***O'Reilly Authors in the News *Google on NPR Listen to this "Talk of the Nation" interview with Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Rael Dornfest, coauthor of O'Reilly's "Google Hacks." http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1421546 *An Interview with Paul Bausch Listen in on this IT Conversations interview with Paul Bausch, the author of "Amazon Hacks."
