Comment Wireless Networking (Score 1) 244

I received a set of the Diamond Wireless networking for christmas this year. Its only 1mbps which is adequate for sharing the dsl at the homestead.. well enough to do internet sharing and even some video streaming.

Let me tell you, the coolest thing ever was setting up the client box and beam-streaming some mp3 live over the air :)

However, until some of this newer tech, such as bluetooth or the currently vaporfull firewireless tech get on scene, this will remain more of a toy. I can't even buy another card for in another box at less than a hundred dollars, and this is at 1mbps.

I'm not sure whether there is linux support for these yet, or if there ever will be, this mini-network is based on two win32 boxes.


I guess I'll have the luxury of telling my grand-chillins I was one of the first to not use those funny wire things though
