There's just been a discussion regarding pcmcia cards for linux; much of the same applies to pci too. One thing that works extremely well is an ethernet-wireles bridge - it might be called a gaming adaptor, or similar. Plugs into your network card & does the wireless thing. No driver required. Brand and model information isn't very useful, vendors change the chipset in a given model without notice, and that can mean no support. Atheros-based cards work fine, but you need to either build the driver yourself (easy), or download the drivers separately. It won't be part of CentOS. > Thanks > Jim > On Mon, 2007-01-22 at 17:08 -0800, John R Pierce wrote: >> Jimmy Bradley wrote: >>> Basically, what I'm trying to do, is to use a wireless router to >>> do what I would normally do with a wireless pci card. >> you want a wireless ACCESS point (WAP) configured to be in CLIENT mode. >> >> in that mode, it acts as a wireless -> ethernet bridge. >> >> >> this functionality is generally missing from the prevalent integrated >> all-in-one wireless 'routers' >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> CentOS mailing list >> CentOS at centos.org >> http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
