I've been hesitant to replace a malfunctioning* wireless bridge and plus buy an extra repeater for the other side of t'stone wall, 'cos I was under the impression that "n" was still in draft, but I've noticed a lot of "n" stuff appearing. I thought the ratification was happening this month, October - has it actually happened earlier and I was asleep? And is cheapo stuff like SMC wireless bridges reliable enough to upgrade to an "n" wireless network (as also pcmcia netcards, as the laptops didn't come with onboard cards that would play with linux anyway, so time to upgrade those as well). I'm feeling the speed issue somewhat on the laptops esp. when using a nfs filesystem for certain of the home subdirectories. *Refuses to reset to default values on pressing the button and thus allow me to change password (not critical, its a strong one, but I like to change periodically, and also increase transmit strength to high). AND channel -- latter is being THE pain 'cos someone in the area is using the same channel and I often can't get a connection. Must be messing them up too but so far they haven't changed channels, probably don't realise what the problem is, if it is what I assume it is that is messing up connecting now that their network has appeared on the scan list... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
