[Wolves] Wireless Networking

I have a Belkin Access Point that plugs straight into my home network. I
also have a Xircom Wireless PCMCIA card that works fine under Linux (RH). It
auto-detected on install and I can happily swap between my wireless and
ethernet cards with no problem whatsoever.

Regards

Jon

Hiyas all

Does anyone have any experience, or could you point me to somewhere that has
info about using Wireless peer-to-peer networks with Linux?

We have an offer on at work, Wireless networking hardware, 89.99 each or two
for 99.99, so I snapped up one Belkin USB, and one Belkin PCMCIA wireless
adapters.

Managed to get them working ok in windows (with a LOT of head scratching, I
can tell you now). Gotta love being able to surf the web from anywhere in
the house with no cables ;)

Ta in advance,
Matt
