At the meeting the other day we were discussing the potential for wireless
Internet connections in Preston.
I connect via a firewall: Smoothwall. I would want to use a firewall if I had
a broadband connection.
I believe the prism2 chipset is the best supported under Linux but I looked
on the Smoothwall 1.0 distro disk in /lib/modules/2.2.23/net and I couldn't
see a module that whose name suggested prism2 (prism2_pci ?) support.
I also found this information:
ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/README
Does anyone know if there is a way to get Smoothwall to work with a wireless
NIC?
