Wireless (802.11) website?

[William F. Day]

An access point is like a hub/switch..  it does have embedded items in it
that are either configured over a serial/telnet connection or via a
webbrowser.

As for the wireless pcmcia and pci, I have yet to sit down and emss with
them yet...   trying to take over the wifes laptop so I can slap linux on it
and play with the wireless stuff on it..
