Hi everyone,
It seems that we are all looking to deploy or have already deployed some
wireless LAN. I am offering to make a report of our experiences with the
different hardware and their compatibility. If you will, we can in a first
step build a little questionnaire with the subject you are curious about,
then send the questionnaire out, respond to me and I will make you a
little summary chart.
Here are a few questions already brought up:
Hardware name ?
Compatible with linux ?
Possibility to build a bridge ?
DES ? key size ?
....
