I am building a generic-pc-1.3b15.img M0n0wall on an old PII whitebox. In the interest of one less gadget/wires/power-supply, I was thinking about adding a PCI wireless card and using the M0n0wall stuff. The Froogle links (awesome idea) aren't always clear if the device is a PC Card or PCI, or what. For the couple that I'm pretty sure are PCI (e.g., Netgear MA311), they are a) only 11Mb and b) > $50. So this may not be as fast and as cost effective as I'd hoped. 1) Is http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/hardware-wireless.html current and correct for v1.3 (I know, still in beta, but...)? 2) Is this, circa 2004, still true? http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/faq-ap.html 3) Is this actually a Good Idea, or should I just get a cheap stand-alone AP and be done with it? (In that case, recommendations for that?)
