My apologies if this has already appeared. I posted it last night, and have still not seen it on the list... Hi there, I am looking at going wireless at home. My server / internet gateway lives downstairs, below the computer room upstairs. The walking distance is about 15 meters. The direct distance between the machines is about 8 meters, but with a floor between them. At the end of the day I need to have 3 laptops and 2 pc's on the network. The one pc is my internet gateway and home file server. The other PC is my main machine and my games machine. The laptops are my wife's and her parents. The PCI cards that I am looking at at are D-Link DWL-500's and the PCMCIA cards are D-Link DWL-650's. Are these cards supported under 4.3-STABLE ? The DWL-500 looks like a pcmcia card plugged into some kind of PCI bridge... Also, do they have the range for this kind of setup ? Lastly, what base station can people advise ? I need the cheapest one possible that will do the job and keep up with my needs for about 9 months. Any advice on these matters would be much appreciated. I don't really want to spend money on the wrong solution :) Thanks, -- - Wayne Pascoe E-mail: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Phone : +44 (0) 20 7544 4668 Mobile: +44 (0) 788 431 1675 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
