If I put a Peter Cannon hat on for just one moment, it may cross my mind that telcoms and distributors could be in cahoots when it comes to avoiding the popularity of big wifi co-operatives and technical prowess amongst us brits....
<br><br>If you want either pci or pcmcia wifi then I have found a decently priced and helpful outfit in Slovakia.. <a href="http://www.ferimex.com">www.ferimex.com</a> At this moment I should say to hold off on buying their pcmcia as mine recently failed and I have not yet gotten around to exchanging it with them. However they do not accept payment by Paypal or Visa, so the only way to send them money (dont even think about bank transfer unless a huge order) is by Western Union.
<br><br>Anybody wanting to go the mini-pci option (needed for the Soekris/embedded solution); I can probably help source these through the lads in the Netherlands. Check out <a href="http://wifisoft.org">wifisoft.org</a>
to see more about them and <a href="http://woaf.nl">woaf.nl</a> for dutch details about the event last august. There are links to suppliers somewhere on those sites,<br><br>Alternatively, if you are happy to try buying from around Europe and have a little lingo, try to remember that not everybody calls "wireless" "wireless". In the Netherlands it is known as "draadloos". I ask you, these foreigners, imagine not speaking English :S
<br><br>There seems to be quite a bit of intrest in wireless around this list, could I offer my services to talk about how it can be made a co-operative project for spreading technical knowledge? Last time I came to a lug meet, I was trying to get people signed up for WOAF. While there I was able to learn about various approaches to enable community networks. Unfortunately, trying to get wifi operating smoothly has possibly become one of the most fashionable technical issues of the day.
