Re: Wireless Access for Desk Tops

[Scott Klement <pctech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've always done it this way, and didn't need a special wireless bridge, 
I just used a normal wireless access point.

Though, you can do the same thing with the household combination access 
point, router, firewall, NAT gateway devices that have become so 
commonplace, the trick is just to hook everything up to the LAN side of 
things, and leave the Internet stuff untouched, and then don't use it 
for DHCP or as a default gateway....  sorry, this is off on a tangent.

Anyway, I think what Pat is asking for is a recommendation for a good 
USB Wi-Fi adapter, right?

I can't help there -- never used a USB wi-fi adapter.  I've had PCI ones 
that worked nicely, though.
