[SWLUG] Cheap wifi

[Steve Anderson]

Thanks Pete and Steve for your input. I've picked up a (brand new) WG111 
on eBay for £19 as a result... I realised I needn't take the mountain to 
Mohammed and picked up a wireless router as well, so the vanilla PC can 
talk to the appliance through that. It was cheaper than another WG111 as 
well =)

Tonight I trial Ubuntu Lite and/or Ubuntu 'server' installation. Don't 
fancy a whole Gnome 2.10 desktop on a 512Mb CF card!
