RE: [MLUG] 801.11 wireless card question

["McNutt, Justin M." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

A friend of mine in St. Louis has them and likes them a lot (although he
doesn't use Linux on any of his machines).

A word of warning about Linksys NAT boxes, though:  They can't handle as
many concurrent connections as other vendors' boxes (NetGear, Cisco, Linux
box).  If you have too many machines behind it (or a few machines with a
bunch of persistent connections; Java applets are known to do this), you can
get to where new connections fail.
