A good wireless NIC that will work with m0n0wall is about $60-70. You can also use an access point plugged into your switch, hub, or Ethernet interface. You may want to hold off before buying anything, there is a new standard for wireless security coming out soon (802.11i) that is supposedly more secure than WEP. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Stearne [mailto:mstearne at entermix dot com] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 2:23 AM To: Andrew Eglington Cc: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Subject: Re: [m0n0wall] OT - wireless networking question Andrew, You might be looking for something like: http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ . But really there are a lot of ways to do what you are looking to do. Maybe you could do this: Put a wireless card into the m0n0wall machine to broadcast a signal (the Internet connection). At this point if you have a powerful card you might be able to just receive the signal in the other home and yours. You could use this as a standard wireless network. But if you have a router and several wired machines connected in the other home then you could use the Apple product above or a Linksys WET11 ( http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=36&prid=602 ) to pick up the wireless signal and send it to the ethernet network in the other home.
