i want at least a bit of a wireless network in my home. i haven’t found it particularly simple to find out info about wireless networking. zdnet uk have been about the best source of info i’ve found so far. part of my problem is that until i know exactly what i can and can’t do with this hardware it’s hard to know exactly what i want to do. that i want my laptop to be wireless is a given. whether i want wireless desktop machines depends very much on the abilities, reliabilities, upgradabilities and cross-platform-abilities of the hardware and software involved. and the price of course.
