Wireless gurus

[Condon Thomas A KPWA]

Folks,

I've got DSL with a modem/firewall/router that has PCMCIA card capability
(Actiontec), and I'll be receiving soon a laptop (Powerbook) with the
AirPort card included.

My question regards base station wireless cards.  Do they require more
capabilities than the normal laptop card?  Or will any ethernet card that
meets 802.11b work?  If I'm running three laptops with wireless cards at
once will I have collision problems if I put a normal card into my router?
What I don't know about wireless (or most things) could fill volumes.  In
fact, I think O'Reily already wrote several of them.


In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord,
