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?
