Hi,
Can anyone recommend some good Linux compatible wireless access points(either 802.11b or 802.11g)? I've had a search around, and the Linksys models seem to be getting a lot of complaints about them.

> linksys WRT54g Wuf! You arn't serious are you? We deployed a half dozen of the WRT54Gs on our campus. After about two weeks of trying to get them to function we ripped them out and replaced them with Proxim AP600s. There were many failure modes. They lost their SSID, they just plain stopped doing wireless, they had no real concept of even default routing, their signal strength dropped to near nothing. We had at least two hardware failures. The only good thing about them that we had was that we got a crash course on wifi troubleshooting. Now we were only using these things for wifi. Their broadband and ethernet swich capabilites might be just fine. Don't know if I would say that the Proxims are the best access points around, but since installing them I've not had to mess with them. -- Frank Stutzman |

Cheers for the replies.
Probably will regret it, but I ordered the Linksys WRT54G, as I didn't find any of the UK places I tried selling the Proxims. Regards, Shane. -- [PGP: 035e63e3] "Profanity is the one language all programmers know best." -unknown |
