    Have a look at the Wireless Board here or http://www.irishwan.org

    U basically can use IEEE802.11b equipment. Two of these types of cards will work for you.

    I bought a nice Apple Airport base station to use withmy laptop. This base station is the best value for money I could find, has an internal modem, and looks like a little UFO. It's really funky.

    The Apple software that comes with it only works on macs naturally, but you can get freeware applications off the net to configure it. After that, it works with any WiFi-compliant card.

    It's presently talking PPoE very nicely to Eircom's DSLAM :-)
