I know nothing about wireless here, so please pardon my utter ignorance on the subject... I have an old P200 as a home firewall. Is there a matching PCI card I could use in there as an interface to work with this card? Since it's my own money I'm spending, I want to be sure before buying. IIRC, I can use two cards without a base station as basic network interfaces. If it can get me from the cable modem in the basement to the library on the top floor, I'd be happy.
