What hardware is best?
This depends on what other people are using, but the Lucent Orinoco cards are definitely good value for money, high quality, and have an all-important external aerial socket. (Be aware of name changes, Lucent became Agere, and Orinoco is the card series that replaced the WaveLAN – they are mostly but not entirely compatible) Currently (December 2001), the Lucent Orinoco (silver) card costs around £85. It is vital to get a card with an external aerial socket (which all Orinoco cards have). They can be obtained from eBay UK, eBay (US), un-wired.co.uk etc. Please let me know if you can add to this list. See the hardware notes page for more information.
