Wireless router suggestion: (former :Re: [Gllug] easily configured wireless cards)

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Liad,

Thanks for your advice.  That is also the device which I am searching 
for.  The remaining factor is whether it can boot on LAN

I am doing LTSP project with a Terminal server serving about 15-20 diskless 
workstations within a radius of approx. 10-15 meters.  I have been 
searching for a reliable wireless router, easy configured and at economic 
price, to do the job.

Can you provide me some recommendation?

Thanks in advance.

Stephen
