Subject: [Perth Wireless] Cheap Wireless Gear @ simline

Haven't heard anything on this list for a while so I thought I'd throw 
this out there for anyone who hasn't come across this vendor yet (Prolly 
old hat to many of you)

www.simline.com.au have some cheap 22Mb/s 802.11 Dlink gear,

eg     DWL- 520  PCI adapter - $180
         DWL - 900 AP Access point - $300

Check it out fer yerself at 
http://www.simline.com.au/Catalogue.asp?catid=117

While we're on the subject anyone know wher I can find any cheap PCI<-> 
PCMCIA adapters (<=$80) my mates can throw thier $77 Cabletron cards in ?

Also, I managed to get my Compaq WL-200 (prism2) up and running in *AP* 
mode using the *wlan-ng* drivers with the *intersil AP firmware* under 
linux. It's pretty hairy, but if anyone wants to do the same (I had too, 
the crash-o-matic hostAP drivers kept crashing my box) drop me a line 
and I'll point you in the right direction (Warning - it does involve 
unofficial firmware upgrades that may fry your card).

Cheers Graeme (aka chomama)

PS: Yes I'm still alive, been on Hol's
PPS: As per usual there is still a big, fook-off antenna on my roof 
beaming 802.11 to no-one. If your in Scarborough and looking to hook up 
drop me an email.
