since I need to be up and running wirelessly before I need to be up and running on linux and since my primary will be what I am currently using for a while, I acquired what is needed for my system. This is all linksys stuff and it is the latest and I appreciate the pointers. I have heard from several individuals that it is being done by them and am glad to hear it. I wondered partly because when I was looking at wireless stuff, I saw nada about linux. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@afb.net> To: <blinux-list@redhat.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 11:19 AM Subject: Re: wireless networking: Say more. What devices, particularly? Also, have you looked at the wireless HOWTO's? To give you what I believe is both a kind and responsive answer: Many of us, myself included, use Linux with wireless networking all the time. So, can it be done? Most certainly. Can it be done with your hardware? Don't know. It depends. If you're really migrating toward Linux, David, you should henceforth look into the campatibility of hardware before you shell out money for it. For example, if you intend on using Red Hat, you should check the Red Hat hardware compatibility matrix before purchasing any device of a particular genre. Such a discipline will certainly spare you grief. You'll find, by the way, that hardware manufacture is not dissimilar from software manufacture. Some vendors are response, others are not. Some publish their specs in great detail, others won't give you the time of day. The same evaluations we advise on software, really do apply to hardware.
