Wireless LAN

[Jason Sloderbeck]

I may be way off, but I thought that the WaveLAN Breeze stuff was supported.
I have always been under the impression that they were on the top of the
stack of wireless networking.

Ah, after a quick search on google, I discovered these:

Ask Slashdot: Wireless LAN Options?

Summary: ZoomAIR ISA cards work under Linux ($250). The Breeze stuff is
transparently compatible; That is, you plug their hardware into a 10BaseT
NIC and then it gives you a 2Mb wireless channel to other cards. The problem
with them is the price.
