Well, im very impressed. I've just got hold of a WAP54G, a Linksys
Wireless-G Access Point and appropriate PCMCIA card for the laptop, and
is reporting that its running along nicely at a full 54Mbps.
Well, Ok, that's the reported speed, and pings to the laptop are 1ms,
but its still allowing full speed downloading over the ADSL connection
which at the end of the day, is the most important thing for my father.
Took less than half an hour to install as well!
I was a bit perplexed at first when I couldn't ping the laptop, but then
realised Norton was running on it. Also perplexed though, because my new
DHCP server running on FEDORA has decided to give out the last IP
address in Range! Had to start filling up those PTR records on DNS for
50 computers (range 50 to 100). There's only 2 clients on the network too!
Im a little dismayed to see the WLAN Acct light flashing so much though.
Hrm.
