I had to count again to be sure... :-) I have 34 m0n0walls in production
right now, and three in my trunk waiting to install. All (but 1) have
wireless connectivity. None have a wireless card. The AP is the way to go.
Just make sure you get one that passes MAC or Captive Portal will not work
right.
