> I just got the laterst edition of "Linux Journal" in the mail and the > cover story is about setting up your own wireless network at home. I read this article and thought to myself.... Why?... unless you have all the spare parts laying around and you can't find a better use for them. You can by access points D-Link DWL-1000AP for $131 LinkSys WAP11 for $139 that will do the same thing and a whole lot easier to configure and lower power consumption. I used to have a coyote linux box (486) set up when I was on dial up and that at least made sense I could share all my home computers on one dialup/firewall (I have 5 computers throughout the house). It's a good exercise in getting to know how to configure linux and get different tasks completed. However, the best reason I can come up with is... "because you can". Regards...
