Hope this isn't too far off topic, but we've been looking at the net4501 with a view to building [a] remote box/es, living in or near the roof of one or more of the town's taller buildings, running off a 12V battery plus charger supply, for routing/relaying a local wireless LAN. Only apparent obstacle is - can one readily connect a PCI (eg) wavelan card to the net4501? I don't know enough about what constitutes the low-power PCI card requirements of the net4501, what common IEEE802.11b cards require power-wise, or what other interfacing might be necessary? Any suggestions welcome, off list if you feel it offtopic for -small? Cheers, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
