Before getting in to deep, I'd like to hear a few comments on how this
could be done:
I have no wireless experience so may have the lanquage and concepts
somewhat askew...
I want to use a wireless connection for 1 computer on my home lan.
My machines (5) sit behind a NETGEAR dsl router/firewall. Everything
is currently cat 5.
I want a wireless hookup behind the router. Some thing like:
INTERNET

DSl MODEM

NETGEAR Router/firewall

M1 M2
.

[]
M3
Where M2 is setup gatewayed (hardwire) to NETGEAR ROUTER and is itself
a gateway (wireless) for m3. So it needs a regular nic and something
that makes a wireless accesspoint.
Is there such a thing as a pci card that is a wireless accesspoint?
Or maybe M2 needs to be an actual hardware wireless router.
M3 is a laptop that I'd like to be able to connect to the lan from
anywere around the grounds. Like in the garage or etc.
Its an older Tosh 4005 but I'm guessing somekind of wireless nic
exists for it.
All you need is a WAP (I'm using a Linksys unit, myself) and a PCMCIA
wireless NIC that is compatible with Linux. I'm using an Orinoco Gold
card, but it's an "older" one, before chipsets were changed. Check the
hardware compatibility list for recommendations, first, and get one from
the list.
Here's My Setup:

DSL Modem

Netgear FVS318 Firewall/VPN

Netgear WG302 Wireless AP
